It's considered important only in the sense of having features that
encourage the user to do the right thing - it is NOT a requirement for
getting the GNKSA.
All of the 'Soft' requirement are features which while considered very
good and useful and guides the user into correct behavior, may not be
appropriate for all users or newsreaders. For instance if most of your
time on the net was spent in alt.fan.warlord this wouldn't be a very good
feature for you.
