ugh. The only text that I found (referenced earlier) that claims to
comprehensibly describe what the requirements for the new Python policy
and python-central are mentions this field in a way that suggests that
it is mandatory.

Agreed, but if there is no real consensus about what it means... there
is no point in accumulating cruft in such headers, either, and also
(from the perspective of the packager) it is of doubtful merit to add
headers which may have no defined semantics.


Best,
