Excerpts from Peter Bonivart's message of Tue Jan 18 18:10:12 -0500 2011: Hi Phil,

Peter is right in that you shouldn't enforce a non-existent standard like this. His suggestion is both good and useful. I'd suggest going one step further: propose that it become policy and see if everyone (at least the majority) agrees with you. If so, you've got a reason to block packages...otherwise you don't. It's easier for everyone. I don't think people are disagreeing that removing /usr/local references is a bad thing, just that they don't like being blocked at the gate for something that until recently hasn't been an issue.
