Wrong way of thinking to begin with.

It would be wrong for me to reduce my way of reviewing packages
painstakingly to such a short'n'static list of MUST/SHOULD items.

My personal list of MUST/SHOULD/HINTS items depends on the package I
review. I adapt to what I see and to what seems necessary, and I believe
several other contributors do the same. Neither do I want to process items
which are irrelevant, because they don't apply to a package, nor do I want
to create a list for all things I perceive as "okay". If my other messages
in this thread have not been clear enough already, I can't help it.

Since I had started contributing reviews long ago, and long before some
people invented metrics, I've never reached a point where I no longer
found any new/bad things not covered by packaging/reviewing guidelines.
I'd like to keep that style of doing reviews.

Anyway, the number of Fedora Extras contributors has reached a certain
point where I think I won't spend a lot of energy into discussing things
like this, especially since I haven't done many reviews for quite some
time.
