Long-established precedent is that even when the sole purpose of a package is to interact with a proprietary remote service from Facebook/Google/Microsoft/... the package can go into main. The border used to be that it was not permitted when downloading and executing code locally was required for using a package in main. But there is precedent for packages whose sole purpose is to open a browser window or widget with some remote URL in main. Therefore downloading proprietary JavaScript code and binary-only WebAssembly and executing them locally are also covered by precedent. > Thanks! > > cheers, josch cu Adrian
