Yep, that is true. As my AM asked me to write a check for such things I'll look into this the next days. > It would be useful to have a check that warns about this (it could even > be an error because the watch file is useless without the version > mangling option). I'm not sure if a warning is appropriate as it is not a must to have functional watch file, according to policy. According to policy it is fully optional and therefore should be encouraged but not forced. So I think that an informative message is more appropriate.
