Yep.  Reason is the former.  But this can be overridden (followed by an
audit) if there is a good case.  Apparently my case wasn't strong
enough.  Too be fair though, I didn't push hard.  And now that I've seen
this mail I'm reminded that I wanted to push this for openSUSE 10.3 --
which went GM today :-(.
