This obviously needs to be clarified with respect to pkgsrc. For example if we have a package that has an important fix in their upstream repository but hasn't made it to a release yet we usually apply that patch to pkgsrc. Are you saying that if upstream used an LLM we can no longer apply that patch even if we didn't write it? How is that effectively different from just using an upstream tarball that includes the LLM patch?
These things must be clarified ASAP if you are really banning any LLM code whatsoever from pkgsrc, as it has large ramifications. I would suggest doing it as quickly and as absolutely clearly as possible so there is no possibility of confusion here.
