If I understand your meaning in both of these cases, I'll just note that
for the things we've been discussing here, I believe we've already had
complaints/requests from Debian users.  Whether that's significant
enough to warrant accommodation is another question, but that may not
leave the concerns theoretical, strictly speaking.

And for what it's worth, I can see both sides of the argument(s), i.e. I
can understand why upstream, it could be that on balance, those concerns
won't (and maybe shouldn't) be considered sufficient when balanced
against other considerations.
