How does that force the maintainers to fix the packages? We tried to check
what packages use /usr/bin/python during build. There is a huge warning in
the build log and a failed Taskotron check if the package uses it. Nobody
(or close to nobody) cared.
Was a case made to make this test gate packages in bodhi?
While the gating is being currently re-worked, I believe this would be a
sensible test to enforce gating. Anyone waiving it and not fixing it in the next
update would be basically saying: I do not want to follow the guidelines which
can lead to another discussion than: I was not aware of this.
I only saw that test in the update tab of a bodhi update because I was looking
for something else, I didn't know until then that we had a test for it... :(
