I'm not sure what to redirect it to, given that I think the current
tradeoff is the right one for the reasons I gave in my previous message.
This doesn't seem to be much of an issue to me; Policy currently leaves it
to the maintainer's discretion, and the maintainers seem to be doing
reasonable things.  I'm not seeing a compelling need for Policy to weigh
in here.
