Remove the policy part from GLEP 81, making it into a pure technical
specification. The policy will now be defined by the QA team
as a regular tree policy. Since the planned policy updates make it
less restrictive, there is really no need to hammer it at GLEP level.

-
-Following the acceptance of this GLEP, all new users and groups must
-be created via user/group packages as defined in this GLEP. The old
-method may still be used for existing users/groups, in existing
-packages.
-
-All new users and groups must have unique UIDs/GIDs assigned
-by developers. The developer adding them is responsible for checking
-for collisions.
-
-Before adding a new user and/or group, the developer must send a RFC
-to the ``gentoo-dev`` mailing list.

Rationale
=========
-Requiring mailing list RFC
---------------------------
-
-The policy explicitly requires RFCs for new users and groups, as they
-have global scopes and effects of mistakes while adding them are hard
-to fix. Wider review should decrease the risk of major design mistakes.
-
-To provide one example, right now we have two different packages
-creating ``git`` user and requiring a different home directory for
-the user. As a result, the first package being installed defines
-the actual home directory, and both technically can not be installed
-at the same time.
