No, the new policy is a frame that is being mislabeled as a floor board.
Inside the frame, there is just no floor at all and you fall through and
die.
Really, you basically REMOVED the policy for essentially all the cases that
matter (because in those cases where upstream supports building against the
system library, it is fairly obvious that it will be done even without a
policy that says so), with no replacement at all.
And now you're asking us to turn that frame into a floor, which is just not
practical to do in a way that does not leave huge gaping holes or crumble
down as soon as you step on it.
