[gentoo-dev] [PATCH] glep-0081: Remove policy part

[Michał Górny]

Remove the policy part from GLEP 81, making it into a pure technical
specification.  The policy will now be defined by the QA team
as a regular tree policy.  Since the planned policy updates make it
less restrictive, there is really no need to hammer it at GLEP level.

-All new users and groups must have unique UIDs/GIDs assigned

-Before adding a new user and/or group, the developer must send a RFC

-Requiring mailing list RFC

-
-The policy explicitly requires RFCs for new users and groups, as they
-have global scopes and effects of mistakes while adding them are hard
-to fix.  Wider review should decrease the risk of major design mistakes.
-
-To provide one example, right now we have two different packages

It's a significant change, so should be version 2, I guess?

Acct-* packages created by v1 still comply with v1.1.  That was my
semantic idea.
