dovecot - Apr 2009 - Why not just ignore sieve include error and continue read and execute the rest of sieve rules?

Hi, all.

I use a global sieve script and include user's personal sieve script in
it, but it doesn't run while user's sieve script not exist. Why not just
ignore this error and continue read and execute the rest of sieve rules?

My global script:
----
require ["include"];
include :personal ".dovecot.sieve";
----

Sieve log while user's personal sieve script doesn't exist:

Basically, because it is required by the draft standard. I've coined 
something like that on the Sieve mailing list, but I haven't received a 
response thus far. I must admit however that it is barely ever useful to 
have optional script includes.
