It's really quite simple. Thanks to devrel's habit of making nasty threats to any developer who upsets a user, it's now necessary to post a message like this indicating that the issue was discussed before implementation. A sensible post might imply that I find these kinds of restrictions acceptable, and that I'm happy to sit around and watch the distribution be ruined by debian-style bureaucracy (anyone else see the hotbabe mess?). Anyway, I now consider my ass to be sufficiently well covered, and I've yet to see any coherent objections, so I've gone ahead with the commit.
