You are one of the few persons who apply analysis and checking tools to
many GNU projects, more than anyone else [2][3]. This is appreciated (as long
as the reports are about platforms that we care about).

However, your point of view as a "QA engineer" is not the only one that
matters. The thread [1] I pointed to contains some other points of view;
in particular it explains why the GNU standards say something that you find
"low".

Also this thread hinted that the tools could be improved. Consider how many
more projects would use the tools, and how less resistance you would encounter
in your quest for quality, if the tools were better than they are now...
