Hi,

* Ansgar: you have very good points.
* Zo: can you address these points?

Although I like Zo's proposal in general, I also had similar concern for the
"practical impact", too.  It was answered by Zo to make me feel OK.

My concern for Japanese keyboard input method was addressed in "ToxicCandy
Allowlist" by assessing it as non-AI model in ML-policy.

  https://salsa.debian.org/deeplearning-team/ml-policy/-/blob/master/ML-
Policy.rst

The current policy proposal is vague at what is not "AI models" and it lacks
direct reference to "ToxicCandy Allowlist".  (Why missing? or did I overlook
something?)

If Ansgar's cases for models are deemed not as "AI models" with good reason, we
can qualify them as "ToxicCandy Allowlist".  Then, it is easier for us to vote
yes.
