Maybe?

Maybe Locked Areas: ports/Mk is a locked area, de-facto. It's special. Even build breakages there are off limits.

"Restricted Areas" might be even better.

I'm not completely sure about the ending here of 'followed by a case-by-case review'. Maybe 'followed by more review before recommit'? Sounds dorky, but maybe less dorky?

This lines up with what I'd already been telling people despite the policy being unwritten. An interesting datapoint: most of the people I've told this is fine and wanted to commit to a different repo generally *wanted* review for even nearly-trivial changes, which I think is an interesting progression from our review culture just 5-10 years ago.

Now that I've thought about it, Stricter Rules likely is best.
