All Manoj is doing is filing bugs. Anyone can do that. I don't see any reason why that would make anything harder in the long run. We knew this decision by the ftp team was coming for a while, and will require checking against our other documents and probably changes to the severity of various rules. It's going to take changes to Lintian as well as Policy. I think it's a very positive step forward for the archive as a whole to start doing auto-rejects for some major Lintian tags, so I'm happy to help do the work there, as much as I have time to do so.
