This seems poorly specified to me.

For example, it claims one of the banned things is 'automatic update phone-home'. However, for brew they are only trying to disable analyitics, brew will still "phone home checking for updates", and there is no way to disable that (at present).

Personally, I'd want to see something more fine-grained. Personally I want automatic updates (at least notifications that one is available), I can't imagine using a package manager that didn't provide that.
