That's one approach... it will mean that your packages will fade out and be deleted frmo Factory due to no longer building... is THAT in line with what you want to reach?
More correct would actually be that YOU as prj devel reviewer decline it BEFORE submitting to Factory..
openSUSE is collaborativ work. There is REALLY no reason to make work for potential new contributors extremely difficult.. let us start from saying I find the rules a on changes a little bit annoying, as they tend to duplicate what is already available and easy to be found by any curious user but that is just a simple annoyance for me...
quite few people react against this enforcement as it seems imposed in a very unilateral way, rather than discussed, and I agree with them... I am not an adept of democracy or mobocracy but I hate dictates in equal measure... We shall have a mature discussion on the process before trying to dictate a solution... The main problem we have with packaging is getting things accepted in devel projects and then pushed to factory... Why is that... if it is because of missing changes or tags for patches let us do become pedantic about the form of .spec files... but I am afraid that other are the reasons that the distro tends to be in a state with out of date packages... imagine keeping up to date the changes in all the texlive packages...
