Having read the thread, you seem to miss the point that's been
repeatedly made: the packages occasionally fail to build, and someone
has to fix them. That act, fixing packages when they don't build is the
"support" that someone has to provide.
You can't use packages that don't exist. They don't exist unless
someone supports them. Therefore you can't use an unsupported package.
It's not because policy forbids it, it's because they don't exist
without the act of a human maintainer making them build (which is
described as "supporting" the package.)
Does that make sense?
