From a supply chain security perspective I think it's not a bad idea to block updates (unless there is a documented waiver) when it is first encountered, at least for now since the present state of things is such that RTL in code is unnatural. Maybe if it becomes more common in future to have, e.g. Arabic comments, the check could then be made smarter to look only for non-comment usage of bidi chars.
