The problem with this statement is that now I have to write a BIF to do what

original code did.

Bingo.

Somehow, I don't think my manager is going to accept that.  And if my
manager does make that decision, she'll have hell to pay when she delivers
the next release to customers who use that order policy.  Especially when
she tells them we've been kind enough to give the customer the capability of
writing their own order policy, and we suggest that they do so.  Of course,
it's entirely on their dime to write, test and debug this order policy, but
better them than us.

Your tone is just right. <g>
