this is a different concern - for a site to fail the proposed A+0, it would
implicitly "stop the site from functioning with LibreJS" - in the case of
gitlab.com, it would stop the site from functioning for anyone, any computer,
any web browser, whether or not the website used any scripts - the proposal is
the privacy analog to C0:

i will re-state the proposed A+0 more precisely:

A+0:

> without contacting any third-party service(s) delegated by the site. (A+0)

the criteria is not related to scripts - it is a privacy concern, on par
with the "no logging" criteria - in fact, the "no logging" criteria (A+1) is
meaningless without this proposed criteria; because in practice, every request
to the website cascades hundreds of requests to third-parties who are not
subject to any of these criteria
