In my view, documenting it is precisely a way to make sure no one takes it personally: the rules are known beforehand, no one is caught by surprise. That also means maintainers don=E2=80=99t have to hesitate, negotiate, worry, and all that. > Minimal explanation leads to maximal interpretation, and not everyone > has the same English command. True. I think the suggestion you and Leo made to add =E2=80=9CIn order to = avoid mistakes=E2=80=9D can clarify that. To me that=E2=80=99s the main reason for this policy. Another one is secur= ity (someone has their laptop stolen, for instance), but similar security risks exist while the person is active. Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
