I don't believe either you or Carl needs any coercion to fix
lily-git.tc.

Neither can a release be made anyway.

So these "reasons" are no justification for this policy.  You
still haven't convinced me it will actually have any effect.

Don't get me wrong.  Whether we place these issues in a
critical category or not is hardly a vital decision, but here
we're talking about deciding Policy.  Policy decisions
must be based on sound and justifiable arguments, not
opinion or expediency.  So my concern is that we are not
following a sufficiently sound approach here.
