Hi, in my opinion this paragraph in policy is just fine and helps us to keep control over the size of required and important. For optional and extra it doesn't make that much sense, and this is also where the ~1800 violations are: $ ./check-prio required >required & ./check-prio required important \ >important & ./check-prio required important standard >standard $ grep buggy required |wc -l 5 $ grep buggy important |wc -l 15 $ grep buggy standard |wc -l 35 $ cat required important standard |grep buggy |sort |uniq |wc -l 39 $ $ ./check-prio required important standard optional >optional #takes long $ grep buggy optional |wc -l 1878 $ Reviewing 15 or 39 packages and making reasonable decisions is worth the effort I think.
