Oh, sure, we can give them some amount of time. Even months, if that's
really necessary.

The problem is that without any such enforcement, the rule is pointless
and will lead to the current situation where some new guys do and a lot
of others don't introduce themselves.

Clarity isn't a bad thing when making rules, in my opinion. Unclear or
vague rules make more people unhappy than clear ones do.


Cheers,
