Is the opinion of ftpmaster on this issue irrelevant, then?

If not, surely it's better to get ftpmaster's position on this, so the
change to policy wording can be made on that basis. Can someone who has
some kind of means to get an actual *response* from ftpmaster (all my
attempts have failed) please get their position expressed in our public
mailing lists?
