This isn't a QA policy, was not run by us as far as I can tell, and I
don't know where it came from or why it was added. +1 for revert, if
people want to run this by Council or QA later and actually get an
official decision we can talk about putting it back, but for now it's
generating a lot of noise for no real benefit. It's useless checks
like this that make people ignore repoman warnings.
