   This is not a requirement of ASF policy, so we can relax it. I think the 
best compromise here might be to make it a warning, but it depends how people 
feel about warnings. In general I think it's useful to end users when a tarball 
contains a directory of the same name as its basename minus extension. How 
strongly we want to coerce ATR users to conform to that pattern is another 
matter, and what we're seeing is that people _treat ATR errors very seriously_. 
This is excellent news, of course, but it means that we must use errors 
responsibly: we must reserve errors for cases that are truly *errors*. I don't 
think this is an error, and I think there could also be a case that ATR errors 
must be violations of ASF policy, obvious security problems, and other things 
of this nature.
   
   In summary, I think I'll at least make this a warning, but we might even 
need to add a new "advisory" class which is slightly weaker than that. In 
addition, however, I would like to point out that you can make custom rules to 
ignore certain check results, including even errors. If you go to 
[`/ignores/airflow`](https://release-test.apache.org/ignores/airflow) I think 
that should be the relevant interface. I understand that we should set sensible 
defaults and not rely on people to add ignores for things that we got wrong at 
the ATR level!
