[ppml] Policy 2002-5

[Trevor Paquette]

much better reading...

could this policy possibly be used to exchange blocks?

meaning.. get one of the SAME size because the original is getting 'dirty' (blocked by blacklist etc?). I hope that the wording "shall receive a smaller block", really means a SMALLER block; not one of the same size.
