The rationale in GR 2004-004 for delaying the implementation of
GR 2003-003 is that we don't have time to implement it before
release. It would then be pretty hypocritical to start adding
packages that violate DFSG. What, we have time to *add* packages
containing FDL documentation, but not time enough to *remove* FDL
documentation from packages?
