I am amazed people fall over themselves to comply with constraints that simply don't matter.
Because if constraints don't apply to everyone, it's possible to make a constraint, pawn off the inconvenience from the constraint on someone else, and not care about the inconvenience yourself because you've exempted yourself from it.
For this argument to work, there would have to be a tangible way that the main page is hurting the namespace policy. Is it? Are people putting wikiproject pages willy nilly in the mainspace? Are people rampantly putting userpages and userboxes where they don't belong and then claiming "well, the main page does it, so why can't I???"
Is there any reason what so ever to move the main page, except "policy for policys sake"? Because that argument doesn't fly with us.
