(There's no option for Conditional Support)

Promotion to either position is not an automatic process. You have to apply and then be accepted. The minimum requirements exist presumably so there'll be a body of work for whoever handles the application process to sift through to see if a candidate is suitable.

So whichever numbers are decided upon will be quite arbitrary, anyway. And they'll not really raise the suitability of those who qualify. Instead of just flipping the numbers, why not sit down and work out new numbers? Are 250 and 100 the best minimums to set? After all, these were set 2 years ago in a different environment.
