Description

CITATION.cff could be in recommended instead.

Validation and testing

No response

Motivation

CITATION.cff is often just relevant in research, so it could be part of recommended only.
The counterpoints for maintaining it is that it is not invasive, and we want to recommend some best practices, and that might include citation.
On the other hand, citation is mostly relevant in research, so we go in circles.

Target audience

For a research use-case where this is indeed a relevant question: for Herb.jl we use an umbrella package setup where it doesn't make sense for the individual repositories (like HerbSpecification.jl to have a CITATION.cff file. I'm trying out BestieTemplate on our projects right now, and I'll need to delete the citation file every time I (re-)apply the template. In this case, it'd be handy for its existence to be configurable.
