"Bad" is not the issue. The issue is that main is self contained, and can
be installed without anything else but main. Right now our policy does not
consider anything in non-US as part of that clause. Granted it would be
correct to assume that "main and non-US/main are a single entity when
regarding deps", but that is not the case right now. Our policy does not
grant that exception.
I'm not arguing right or wrong, I'm just pointing to the rule book :)
