Good question. So that raises the issue of "non-emancipated"
(non-redistributable) files. That is, should there be a 0.0 or 0.1
release that includes them in it? (I vote no, FWIW.)

And if not, wouldn't that be the main constraint here?

Non-emancipated is not the same as non-redistributable. Remember that
there are binary "blobs" that are redistributable. There are several
files right now that can be redistributed but have not been
emancipated that are very important for the basic system. (libm.so
comes to mind... I think).
