Some people want no TEXTRELs to be a requirement because they're
superstitious, or because they read somewhere that TEXTRELs are
naughty and are repeating the conclusion without understanding the
underlying reasons. It's approximately on par with trying to ban all
code that uses 'goto' because it breaks certain security auditing
tools that rely upon call graphs.
