Clarification: Mario is talking here about the *set.mm* metamath database,
not about metamath in general, since obviously metamath
can be used without using classical logic or ZFC simply by
creating a different database.

Mario's extremely well aware of that, and is an expert on that topic,
but I thought other readers here might be confused.
