Wouldn't other mobsters be offended by rule breaking/changing? After all if the boss can break rules, whats to stop the average soldier?
You just answered your own question. The boss is the boss and has more power to do what he wants than a soldier. Those guys who are not full Italian becoming made members, besides being well connected, are the exception to the rule. In most cases, your average prospective member has to be full Italian in New York.
