Andre, you just made the point i've been thinking of for some time. Let the people who object to having an interface for binary-only modules stake out their code. If you have no code you have no legal standing. Identify what code you won't allow the binary modules to use.
I'm a lurker here. I just don't feel very itchy. But if someone actually declares needed code off-limits for the binary modules i and others could very quickly develop serious itches to scratch. The patch-war will be people replacing code belonging to the extremists.
