This is only required by *SOME* sponsors, and I absolutely *DO NOT

spread mis-information to people approaching Debian since few time,
like it's a "project requirement" when it is not.

missing;-), rather than a ironed rule.
Should we leave that to the sponsoree's discretion, and live in peace?
;-) Does anybody see any flaws with that?
