That does not change the fact that 100% utilization is technically
impossible. That's probably why the existing practice is to only audit
the last allocation for 80% utilization and ignore all previous
allocations.

Not particularly relevant. I am opposed to the whole policy, not just
because it has bad parts, but because it is too big, too overreaching,
and has too many implications to properly evaluate in the short amount
of time between the submission of the proposal and the meeting.
