compare internet:
- it work fine
- it doesn't mandate any RFC
- it would be a mess not having RFC.
Personally I think we are too far to mandate DEP-3
(and BTW the subject has "guideline", not "requirements"):
- we need to use the new source format
- we need to have experiences with new dpkg-source and
new tagging, and to found problem
- and probably new discussion about real problems.
so, IMHO we need a complete guidelines and start to use
it widely. It should not be complete or 100% precise
(so not yet the right time for bike-shading).
Then from time to time we could include some mature items
in the policy and discuss improvements.
Anyway I think we will need a guideline in parallel to
the policy: the guideline could explain better the problem
and the solutions, future directions, recommendations etc.
then the policy.
