If "targeted" will be the default going forward, it seems that the thing 
to do is make the change now. A one time relabel at this stage is not as 
bad as having to make a switch later.
For those that want the "strict" , they can set up the links the way 
they prefer after the update.
Is the "strict" policy close to what is now in place?
