User blog comment:Pelinal Whitestrake/The Necessity of breaking Policies to ensure they will not be broken in the Future/@comment-4984687-20150118230800

Agreed, policies should usually be followed, but in this case it can't apply to all our guidelines.

Nothing will always be up to date, including laws. For example, there is a law in the state of Missouri that states that yellow margirine is illegal. This law has been there since the 1800s but still hasn't been removed or changed even though it should.

The same thing is currently happening with our wiki, our guidelines are a mess.
