Yeah, see, this is a case where not understanding the structure of
Gentoo gives you the wrong impression.  The GDP's policy applies to the
GDP.  That is not a global developer policy of any kind.  It is a policy
by a project, for that project.

If I were, for example, to write up a nice guide for something on the
games team and do it all in ASCII art, that policy has no bearing on
what I do.  If I were to write something for the GDP, then it would.

At any rate, that has *zero* bearing on whether or not our update
information needs to be written in GuideXML, so there's no point in
arguing it with you.
