Why is this a QA warning in the first place?
I don't recall a policy mandating that descriptions can't end with '.'. I
asked our QA lead about it and was told that he didn't recall that we
have an official policy about it either. Also, the devmanual never
mentions any such requirement.
If someone can point me to something I'm missing, let me know.
Otherwise, I think the warning should be removed.
