I find them worded too strongly personally, but given almost all
of my paackages are leaf and not team-maintained, I doubt I’d be
too pressured towards it, and with that understanding could live
with it. (In particular, Salsa is something I’m very uncomforta‐

packaged form, which itself is not suitable for stable, too…)

I guess it depends, a well-written hand-written file may surprise
you with regards to legibility, but too-quickly-cobbled-together,
