They are not broken until you decide "we don't care about" :)

We will look at improving the wording in the draft. The draft is not
about changing the rules of glue - we just thought to include some of
it to help implementers and to help explain why it is important to set
TC=1 even if you think it is harmless to not include some or all glue.
