Let me put it this way: it makes it *less* useful. Take being part of a Linux distro -- if your project can't be delivered via that channel it is by definition reaches less people, hence it is less useful. But to Greg's point -- this is a tangent to this discussion of ASF policies. I was putting forward a principle that, in general, increases the downstream consumption of the projects coming from the foundation. It is a good principle, but in no way it is part of the policy.
