Laws are always dubious, especially the ones against some form of threat:

"Please, don't leave your baggage unattended, as it may be searched, and
destroyed".

Have you ever had your baggage destroyed?

The dubious character of such laws is intentional, and state the worst that
can happen, not the general case. It can also show that, if you baggage is
not destroyed, they have been nice to you, and you should be thankful.

This may seem a bit harsh, but so is the world that lawyers created for us.
Some people have to cross real mine-fields to buy milk, we have to cross
legal mine-fields to submit patches. The way to fix this is at the source,
not in the mailing list.
