One of the reasons I left the treecleaner project was that it became apparent
that people were more interested in dumping packages with simple problems
than fixing them (which believe it or not, was what treecleaner was formed to
do).  Now they call it QA. :)

I'm all for dropping broken crap, but things people use with working patches
attached?  QA is also about getting that stuff applied.
