Oh ok ! I was thinking about enabling the checkpkg checks only after we
sufficiently tested that the option would not cause problem on the first
set of package. That was the transition phase :)
But we could add another transition phase like you said as long as it is
not too long.
The problem with informative only messages is that it could easily be
missed in all checkpkg messages.

Maciej, can I do this by just removing the error_mgr.ReportError call while
keeping the messenger.Message call ?
