You misunderstand the purpose of policy. "Policy is not a club to
beat developers". The purpose of policy is to decide which packages
are so buggy that they should be removed from the archive before
release! You're putting the cart before the horse. Get the packages
to change, and THEN we'll consider changing policy to match.
