Let's back away from the ledge of deleting stuff. I'm not arguing for that here. What I'm trying to get across (text lacks subtly) is that the community is asking for you to include this file. You have refused on grounds of a lack of explicit clarity. I'm trying to say not everything is written down, nor does it need to be. The letter and the spirt. :) Your peers are asking for your consideration of something that impacts folks outside of your person. We have given this a great deal of our attention and time. Please consider the advice of folks who consider you a peer as well. Add the file not because it's explicitly demanded of you, but because the community is asking you to do so. It doesn't harm your code. It provides clarity around expectations on how we work together. There are voices not present in this very public conversation. I have been approached by a few that do not feel comfortable participating here. I don't want to see anyone's contributions deleted. I also don't want to see an exception made in this particular case because we as a community haven't written it down somewhere. I'll ask you plainly and directly. Yaron, will you please add the file to your repos?
