DEP5: Making "Files: *" non-optional
The current DEP5 draft says:
* **`Files`**
* Required for all but the first paragraph.
If omitted from the first paragraph,
this is equivalent to a value of '*'.
* Syntax: white space separated list
* List of patterns indicating files covered by the license
and copyright specified in this paragraph. See "File patterns" below.
Does anyone oppose if I remove the "If omitted..." sentence? I see no
reason to make the format unnecessarily complicated by having it
optional. In other words, I propose to make the "Files:" field mandatory
in all paragraphs except the first (header) one, where it is not allowed
at all.
