Actually, I was just arguing that having packages in $VCS does not necessarily make harder to do QA uploads, because you are not forced to use / know $VCS; this is no difference with non-QA uploads. On the contrary, I agree now that if they are not in $VCS yet, forcing a check in to $VCS to do the QA upload is an additional burden that should be avoided.
