I agree that one failure makes it fail to follow the DFSG, but if
someone's going to contact AMD, it seems worth addressing all problems
and not let things like choice-of-venue get dismissed because they're
usually merely controversial rather than clear-cut REJECT reasons.
Given the number of problems and possible problems, requesting a
switch to something Expat-like seems a good option to me.
Hope that helps,
