I have now made the change: 
https://github.com/php/policies/pull/23/commits/3311f2e72402b456aff78de4e4d8f8b8ccbcd05c

Given the previous reasoning of “the policy doesn't disallow this” and 
all the Errata policy being a SHOULD (including the new bits), I'm 
treating this change as a Minor Change.

Best regards
