No. Compliancy is more than just fulfilling dependencies, that's whole point of 
the story. It means that each of the depending packages are fulfilling 
requirements prescribed by the compliancy program (for example not placing 
their files in places where they could conflict, or not using private APIs).

Saying 'oh, not being compliant is not a big deal, look, we have thousands of 
non-compliant apps that are safe and run just fine !' sounds really bad from 
the aspect of the future value of term MeeGo Compliant for *users and 
developers*.
