i do understand, however, as i said, even though QA might be ignored, i think
QA still would have to validate it, when QA reads this and sees no response,
imho :-( .

</I>
iiuc, the qa team member says it's required, and not suggested, and noone from
packaging team thought about mentioning that it should be a suggests. (of
course, i didn't know this, but suspected it)
