I already happen to know a very large number of people are against this
as worded, including myself.  If you don't believe me, simply look back
at the thread discussing Ciaran's access revocation by infra.  Lots of
people didn't like that very much.  Forcing the same bullshit into
policy doesn't change the fact that it is wrong, it merely provides a
way for infra to blow off criticism by saying "RTFM" in the future in
case such an event happens again.

The simple fact is, until devrel has decided somebody has done something
wrong, such pre-emptive strikes against developers are wrong as far as I
am concerned.
