This epitomises the point you insist on missing here.
What prevents you, is YOU. If it turns out that you are a painful git who
just wants to throw a spanner in the works, then there would very soon be a
consensus to expel you from the project, otherwise you will do the right
thing, because it is the right thing, no coercion required (or available as it
happens).

[Oxford English Dictionary]
policy[1]: noun.
prudent conduct, sagacity;
course or general plan of action (to be) adopted by government, party,
person etc.
In other words, the fact that we are calling this a ``Policy'' rather than a
``Hovercraft'' implies that it would be prudent for the party in question
(i.e. Debian developers) to use this document as a plan of action.
Therefore any statement to that effect within the policy, would be redundant.
Cheers, Phil.
