it could work with a package that was part of a Review Request. Then I
found out someone was using my library as part of validated software they
were developing. Lesson learned the hard way. Assuming this goes through I
will be able to update on point releases and they can chose whether to
update their whole system or not, in which case they would have to
revalidate anyway.
