True, but they are already clean and follow the guidelines, this 
exercise can lead to much hairsplitting leading to unneeded updates and 
thus unneeded work. First lets create a set of rules for re-review and 
then discuss this further. For example what if a spelling error is found 
in a %description, does that warrant a new release (even if only for 
development)? What if its a 100Mb package, does it then still warrant a 
new release etc?

Hans
