Rob: I'm not so sure we want to be quite as specific as that in limitations (you KNOW somebody's going to claim an Executor as one of their 'two armed ships' permitted if we do).... But a general agreement to avoid an arms race would certainly be a good thing. I've posted my own plans before and they haven't elicited comment, so I'm not sure if they're quite such a shock as all that...
OTOH, the buildup schedule I posted earlier is based on the Candleverse timeline, with an imminent threat and a serious enemy turning up. Without that, in the 'Fenspace Mainline', GSS would maintain the VF-4 for a much longer period as their standard fighter craft before looking into more advanced craft.
(In addition, the squadron count I listed is actually cut down from what it would have been during the Boskone War, the squadrons lost in the Battle of Serenity would not have been rebuilt.)

Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.
