Basically what I'm looking for here is an easy to understand explanation of |
| 2 |
what textrels are, why they are bad, and why they should hold back marking a |
| 3 |
package stable. The only information I've been able to find states that they |
| 4 |
could cause a performance hit, but this doesn't seem to warrant banning them |
| 5 |
completely in my eyes. |

Getting a clear cut policy on exactly what issues should hold a package back |
| 8 |
from being marked stable is what I'm looking for. Issues like textrels, |
| 9 |
executable stacks, etc is what I'm looking for to be defined and explained why |
| 10 |
we are to always avoid them. This should be added to existing documentation |
| 11 |
policy so it is somewhere for new devs to know about, and existing devs to |
| 12 |
have for a reference. |
