Re-reading my statement again after hitting the send button made me 
admit that I didn't express what I intended to…

I was trying to say that there is no policy currently in place to ensure 
that skip-upgrades actually work, and at least one maintainer has 
already started to cleanup pre-wheezy stuff from his packages [0]. 
People "encouraging maintainers not to gratuitously break skip-upgrades" 
on debian-devel is by far not equivalent to a Release Team decision on 
bug severity for a failure to skip-upgrade for example.

Cheers,

[0] I'd be surprised to be the only one, who knows.
