However, I think rolling with option 3 (let projects choose for now and revisit) seems sensible for the moment. I don't think it's wise to mandate (or ban) use of only at this early stage until we have a clearer picture of how it's being used (or abused).

It's not use or abuse - it's far more complicated to use (both on
tooling and reviewing) as well more difficult to generate a proper index.

We've had quite some fun getting only right in our guides and still
every now and then a change comes in that is supposed for one distro but
breaks others. We now have some reviewers that know what to look for and
how to review this - but this is a complexity that needs teaching to
core reviewers in those project teams.

Also, building with only means you have to build for each distro -
that's a more difficult way of setting it up (needs extra scripts) as
well you need to be careful with publishing so that we can use the same
jobs for all projects.
