That is a completely subjective opinion. It is more likely that a tag just for egregious policy violations highlights them even more than "serious" severity does, for while there would be a one-to-one correspondence between the tag and this meaning, there is no such correspondence between the serious severity and egregious Policy violations at present. Or perhaps you're forgetting the other half of "serious": "or, in the package maintainer's opinion, makes the package unsuitable for release."... > Branden> Talk about leaping to conclusions.

We discussed this, and we have > a conclusion, your input not required. Complete non sequitur, made interesting by the fact that it seems to alarm you that Anthony and I might agree on something. What is inherently threatening about that possibility? Furthermore, who said that Anthony's and my possible agreement on an issue would be determinative for the entire project?

Do me a favor and don't make pretensions to humor in the same message where you accuse a person of dishonesty and hypocrisy. These are serious charges and if you want to play Rush Limbaugh or James Carvilla, I'm sure you know where the proper forums for such behavior are. -- G.
