I would prefer the authors not to use \def, \newcommand or packages
outside the short list recommended and tested by the production
staff.  It would make my life much easier.  On the other hand as an
author of packages used in production I claim my right to use \def or
any other TeX construct:  I do this in contact with the technical
staff.
