But it also affects the live images (making them look very unpolished) and
we don't respin those.
That's why I said 'reasonably' not 'perfectly' :) I can see an
argument
for blocking Final, though in practice, I don't think our current
standards are such that it really makes sense to claim our final
releases are so smooth as to be worth enforcing a high standard of
polish via the blocker mechanisms. But certainly for Beta it seems too
trivial.
