I am not sure how it would hurt the user if we enforce good practices 
using tools as opposed to retroactively fixing it after the users get 
hit by the problems.  Can you explain?  Can bug reports be automated for 
existing packages? Can a RFE be filed against the build system to 
prevent new packages from being introduced into the repository with such 
issues?
