Why have two triage guides (one named "Directive") instead of just
one?  Is the point of the Directive just a staging area until we agree
on details which are then later merged into the triage guide?  If so,
that makes sense to me, but otherwise my gut feeling is that it's an
arbitrary split of the triaging guidelines that might be confusing.

I like the additional guidelines so far; thanks for documenting these
things.  :)
