Pity that this was not done earlier, like with one of the previous rolls
of this package.  How did it not get rejected before now because of this
requirement?  Was this requirement only just instantiated?

If not, it seems kinda silly to allow something to fail a requirement
through so many (pre-GA) releases only to reject it because it has not
met the requirements so late in the game that it's too late to fix it.

IOW, if this failure to meet requirements were flagged way back when it
should have been, this package would not be in a state of not making it
for Lucid.  A process is broken and needs fixing.

All part and parcel of the same issue.  Why was any of this not flagged
the first time this package was introduced?

Pity.

Let's at least get the process that allowed this to slip for so long
corrected, yes?
