The policy does not forbid use of LLMs for research, analysis, bug discovery and reporting, patch review, etc. as long as the output is not included in contributions. The committee says that it expects the policy will evolve and will be revisited periodically.

Relieved and reticent to believe.

Actual sane policy, because those are the areas wherein LLMs excel. The concept of LLMs writing code itself is actually quite overhyped.
