Dear Cate and everybody,

so far, there are five persons seconding the removal of the above requirement,
including three formal seconders.

I found the answers to Cate's objections convincing.  Cate, do you have extra
arguments to provide, or would it be fine to follow the majority's point of
view ?

Have a nice day,
