I think it's a reasonable policy to have standards, and that it's a bad
policy to not have standards.  Seems related to me.  Also, we do have
some standards -- e.g., bundling, malware, non-freeness and security
problems is not considered quality.

Nothing, it was implicit.

I never asked this.  All I asked for is to report the issue upstream,
such that upstream can fix it.  (Though fixing it would be nice bonus.)
