The point would be no different from (say) unreferenced content: there the distinction between "may be removed" and "must be removed" is quite important.

The problem with a phrase like "may be removed" is its implicit ambiguity. Those of us who read "may" in a potential sense expressing a possibility are offset by others who read "may" in a permissive sense.
