I'll also note that I'm in FESCo and that I'll definitely vote for approving this FPC guideline, as I don't see why we should block it. Valid reasons have been given for why this is bad and Nicolas's counterarguments just boil down to laziness.
PS: This was already discussed in the 2010-01-08 FESCo meeting and we agreed the unexpanded macros are a problem and tasked the FPC to come up with a guideline to ban them. So I don't see why we'd block the guideline now. Nicolas's arguments don't convince me at all.
