It will be in Policy and maintained via the Policy process, but it's an
*optional* policy.  No package will be required to use DEP-5.  It won't
even be at the should level.  That was part of the original DEP-5
discussion; it's there for people who want to use it, but it's not
something the project wants to standardize on.
