David A. Wheeler 8b7da7c472 📖 Improve rationale for Binary-Artifacts (#1016) ... * Improve rationale for Binary-Artifacts I'm fine with prohibiting binary executables, but the *rationale* for doing this was completely unclear. This commit rewrites the rationale to explain, in hopefully a better way, why they can be a problem. I prefer "executable" over "binary". On digital computers, all data (including source code) are binaries :-). In addition, some executables are simultaneously executables and source code, e.g., shell scripts. So I think what is meant here is a "generated binary". I don't really think this merits a "High" level, but that's a different dicussion. Signed-off-by: David A.
