I think we're reaching a consensus that "must" is appropriate for the
systemd configuration files, so this discussion is about how to phrase the
general guidance that isn't specific to systemd.
I'm therefore not really understanding the argument that you're trying to
make here. Are you trying to say that we should just delete everything in
Policy that isn't a "must" because it serves no useful purpose? If not,
then why are you taking this incredibly aggressive position that general
guidance is pointless unless it says "must"?
