Normally the council doesn't do micro-management down to the level of
eclass variables. How language specific eclasses and packages work is up
to their respective projects or maintainers.
That said, when design decisions affect the total size of the Gentoo
repo (which is present on all users' systems), then it becomes a global
issue and therefore council territory. So far we didn't need a policy
for this, because with few exceptions (some packages in dev-texlive come
to mind) packages don't have more than a couple of distfiles.
Presumably, we're now at the point where the council should define such
a policy about Manifest and ebuild file size.
The discussion about export of variables (in particular, A) by the
package manager is separate from this. IMHO not exporting A won't imply
that packages can have arbitrary many distfiles, i.e. we would still
need a policy for the Gentoo repo.
