Yes please do create a ticket. If we are going to make such involved
distro guidelines it should not be such a pain to follow them.
I fully understand the need for these guidelines and support them, but
I also feel that Karl is doing valuable work and we should try to help
him out. Also while Koki is now the main guardian of the Haiku brand
he too was bitten by these distro guidelines in the past ;)
Thanks,
