I feel your frustration at times, but ultimately guidelines are just  
that; they're not requirements.

The release team can always veto the inclusion of any app that they  
don't think has made enough of an effort to follow them, but to be  
honest it's kind of hard to argue for that measure on the basis of  
what (in this case) was/is basically a single violation, when you  
could point the finger at other apps with a much bigger rap sheet if  
you enforced the guidelines to the letter.

Cheeri,
Calum.
