I think the situation is: Emacs policy is inadvertently wrong. Emacs policy should be fixed. Maintainers who are conforming to Emacs policy should not be blamed for following the rules that they thought they should follow. Once the emacs policy is fixed, the packages that use it should then be fixed.
