The wording on this page suggests that it is a policy:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Patching https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Patching
As you say, the page notes that "[the] policy is intended to suggest, not to enforce", but having a policy is orthogonal to enforcing it.
