When I read the policy like a lawyer I get answers like "this was not
intended" and when I read the policy with common sense I get answers like
the "Developper's reference is not policy" that Phil said in the
discussion of #96458.
I did think our policy contains the rules we follow to produce good
packages and I was proud that we have something like this - at the moment
I tend to see it as a piece of (virtual) paper that has less value than
the words of the release manager.
