Thanks for raising this issue.  FWIW it has also been brought up by
others.  We are planning on discussing with FSF today, at the regular
"volunteers" meeting, where most weeks svh and fsf sysop staff connect.

We'll update you assuming this topic does get discussed and there is some
conclusion to share (or when there is).

Kind regards,
Corwin
