IMO it's proper to point out the violation – if it's deemed inconsequential, the correct reaction is to reduce the punishment (possibly to zero), rather than ignoring the violation altogether. Among other things, missed deadlines being pointed out promptly helps to reduce the chance that the same deadline gets missed many times in a row, at which point it does start to become a problem. -- ais523
