Do we really have nothing better to do than to impose bureaucratic rules on what characters to use as bullet symbols in long descriptions even if the user can tell that the character is a bullet?
The user can tell, but scripts can't reliably. Long descriptions are used in several places and some of these could render a better layout. A good layout is pleasing for users. So it is not stupid bureaucracy but making our descriptions better readable (for instance on packages.d.o and other places).
