It hasn't, but if jack is listed in REQUIRES, it's not an optional dependency 
either (but required, as the name states), and hence the %README% rule doesn't 
apply. And if it's not listed you can already explain more in the README, 
without the %README%. So really, %README% is completely irrelevant for this 
discussion.
