That is because they were specific and were things that were in the guidelines. It takes the personalities out of the equation and puts the technical issues upfront. Generalizations such as "All X packages are bad" are obviously not helpful and extrapolating from a few minor things to claims like that are wrong and doesn't help improve quality but discourages people from contributing. If one believes strongly that running autotools from spec files should be banned but there is no consensus on that, then the only way to change the status quo on this is to propose a draft to the packaging committee with a considerable number of specific examples on why this is a problem. Pointing it out on a review and restoring to calling the packages bad quality if people don't follow your controversial recommendation isn't going to scale at all.
