I agree that that seems to be a better solution, and it was also
discussed in the previous mailing list thread. But my point is just that
given how this issue has been reoccurring, I think it'd be useful to do
something now (e.g. emit a non-fail warning if TEXTRELs are present),
rather than deferring any changes.
