Not at all.  But they are referenced from build files.  I hope this
distinction is clear.  Remember, the build also references local
category-x files in the sense of Linux system dependencies.  But
referencing them by name or directory or URL is not the same as
including them in a release.   Sure you see this?

Again, go back to the licensing page and the principles stated there.
This is not a crusade to eradicate category-b code from the face of
the earth.  This is about making it clear to downstream consumers what
the dependencies are, what obligations those dependencies bring, and
to require an explicit, informed decision for the downstream developer
to enable the use of category-b binaries.    We are doing all of that.

Put the axe away, Pedro.   As you know, category-b code is not
included in the release.  We already went through the audit on that.

In case it is not clear, I'll veto any attempt by you to break the 3.4
source distributions.
