Then maybe the guideline should be that the reviewer has to check for valid
Obsoletes/Provides, but any other checks are optional (as in: if the
reviewer notices something obviously wrong, he/she should report it and
request it fixed before approving the rename, but he/she shouldn't be
required to go through the whole checklist again)?
