[Rich, Joel]

I can't tell whether it was R' Joel Rich or someone else who asked,
regarding the permission to publish Torah Sheb'al Peh:

> enacted it anyway?

The question presumes that this permission did in fact become permanent.
But that presumption is not valid. I have no idea whether this
permission will end up as permanent or not. All we know for sure is that
we are still publishing Torah Sheb'al Peh today. No one knows whether or
not this permission will be revoked tomorrow.

Permanence was the premise of the original commenter
