So, to summarize:

* A draft for FPC wasn't resolved because there were some unanswered
  questions and a next-draft policy proposal never written.

* There was a proposal for FESCo to ban use until policy exists, and
  that proposal was droppped pending knowing how DNF will use them.


I think in general we can't possibly consider lack of guidelines on
something as a ban, because the world is big and moves quickly. It
*would* be nice to have guidelines, and if packages do something before
there are guidelines for it, they should be brought into compliance
once guidelines *do* exist.
