Sorry, lack of discussion does not imply consensus. I And
getting seconds gets you into the proposal stage, and not into the
accepted amendment status.
There are still problems with this proposal: it would make all
affected packages instantly buggy (to be sure, a normal bug, and not
an RC bug), but we do tend to frown upon that.
I propose that this be amended to initially just recommend
that packages create the readme file; and then when that has become
the way things are being done, then we can move to should/must.
I would also be more comfortable if there were some indication
of a wider agreement (more aol posts, perhaps?), but I would take a
lack of protests as the silent majority being behind this proposal.
