I do think it matters, because it states what can and can’t be done, with precedent set by others. Tor and DDG can remove “objectionable” websites from the internet. Damus can’t remove objectionable “sites” from relays. Only domain/web/sys and relay ops can.
Discussion
A bit more general comment about the needed mindset here especially for jb55@jb55.com - working with policy people is not like talking to a friend.
Policy conversation is a skill and it sort of requires you following a specific protocol for what you say and what questions you ask (imagine like lawyer making cross examination in front of a judge - also follows specific protocol). Any skill can be learned - same as learning c++ means searching videos on YouTube, finding tutorials, books, practicing... interpersonal/policy skills require the same.
Note that on the other side of the review sits a Temp/Vendor/Contractor that has a checklist to go through and has a list of possible flags that the application can raise. Remember you are not talking to an engineer here - this is not technical/coding review.
Be careful with asking the right questions and asking the right people, because if you ask literally any question to enough of people, you will find at least one person to tell you NO. No matter the question...
