Kevin, could you *please* not word things like that? There's just no
need for it.

I already wrote this to -test a couple of days ago:

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-October/095135.html

and we're discussing it there. I think the thread demonstrates things
tend to go much more constructively if you avoid throwing words like
'blatant' and 'failure' and 'needlessly' around. We designed a policy,
put it into effect, now we're observing how well it works and we can
modify its implementation on the fly. It doesn't need to be done in an
adversarial spirit.
