RAT is currently run during the validate phase, which is very early in the cycle.
I think that is a nuisance, as it gets in the way of local testing. Any new file has to have an AL header, or you have to remember to use -Drat.skip. This makes it harder to use test cases, e.g. provided in bug reports. I think it would be better applied during the verify phase, which is between package and install. It will still catch missing licences, but won't be a nuisance otherwise. Any objections?
