I understand that completely. However, I'd only like to step in if
base-system actually plans to do something and is concerned about
there being flack over it. If they don't care to change anything then
no action is needed. If they plan to change things but don't care
about hearing people complain, then no action is needed. If I took
action it would only be to tell them they can do whatever they want to
as long as an initramfs still works (or whatever other workarounds
people come up with) - I'd just prefer to only step in if somebody
feels there is a need.
Right now the only argument I'm hearing is that we need to clarify
what the policy is because the policy is unclear and lack of clear
policy bothers some people. I'm not hearing why we care about there
being a policy in the first place. If somebody just states "I'm doing
a lot of extra work because I feel like I have to, so please tell me
that I don't have to" then I'm fine with stepping in.
