Formalise criteria for feature inclusion in formulae #206404
Description
What were you proposing (and why)?
Formalise a policy on what features can be included in formulae (when is this fine, what dependencies would we want to avoid and why, etc.). This is a tracking issue to facilitate discussion and improve our documentation on what "extra" features we are generally okay with including, and when it is fine to do so – what's the minimum number of requests beyond which we include things, etc.
A clearly documented policy allows us to point users making feature requests to it, and also ensures standards are applied consistently across formulae and by all maintainers.
