Like I said, you are well behind the curve here. See the archives of
this list, the proceedings of ArbCom around January and any one of a
hundred other places around the project, like the userbox debates
subsection of DRV. It was discussed to death, which probably explains
why nobody is over keen to rehash the argument right now.
I've done quite a bit of research on this, and I haven't seen a single
edict.
But let me ask you a question: why should it be a
problem having
userboxes spread by copy & paste or by subst from userspace, rather
than provided through template space?
Hasn't this been discussed to death?
Copy and paste is more difficult than using templates. If it's made
absolutely clear that the template rule does not apply to templates in
the user space, then I suppose that's an acceptable compromise.
