Perhaps your confusion stems from me using a non-normative "should" in the draft text of the proposal. Of course a policy "SHOULD" cannot mandate developer behavior outside a package, as I alluded to in my very first reply to you. If that's all you're objecting to, you've chosen a really counterproductive way to do it, since you've merely managed to piss off me and several other people who are actually interested in doing some work. Bear in mind that policy appropriates perfectly common and valid English for its own uses, and this is very easy to stumble over when writing proposals. I for one, have a history of stumbling over it multiple times in the past, and I expect to continue to do so until policy is fixed to use uppercased normative words or something like that. -- see shy jo
