Such a policy appears to strongly depend on individual projects,
as people's perception is not universally identical.  Speaking
for myself, I have problems parsing sequences of words which
pretend to be a sentence while they are not.  So I do assume that
there are strong feelings in either direction.  Ask three persons
and get four opinions. :)

I always assumed that there is a difference between documentation
and "non-documentation" (source code comments, commit messages),
where the latter are not prose and don't pretend to be.

But now that I learned that this is the policy in Yocto and thus
in ELDK, there's no problem following it.  Just did not know yet.
