Perhaps if there was a clear way to disable non-ECMA bits, and check an 
application/assembly that it didn't use them?   GNOME projects could be 
required to do this.  For third-party applications, it doesn't really 
matter, since they're perfectly able to go and grab *any* encumbered 
dependency, be it in C, C++, Python, Java, C#, or Bash.
