19 I remember someone opening such bug for some gnome component (for gnutls
20 USE iirc) and I answered the same. The problem is that we don't have
21 such policy written down. It's some "in the air" policy that everyone
22 should know about, yet no one can point to. Please write something down
23 so we can go forward and remove frustration for everyone.
