yeah, i kinda imagined the uploaders approval process contained a:

    if (hasWarnings)
        reject()

some times when you're going through and creating a README.source, and 
documenting, like 50 included R data files (explaining why the source 
contains binary files), when you know that no-one will ever read it ... 
you start thinking in terms of "what will get this over the line?", 
rather than "i want to package this well" (perhaps this makes me a bad 
packager).

but i see your point.
