Sure, but there's a difference between requiring it and enforcing it.
Not that I think that's bad, but at least we should speak out that
side-effect.

Ok, that puts #3 below #5.

We could always upgrade #1 and #2 to #4. However, I don't think I'd
like to introduce a new way to mass-fail packages (if someone provides
numbers that this are only few packages, things might be different,
but I don't think that's already the case - if in a few years time
that's fixed, great.).
