Yes, I agree with the statement that it can be looser, but if there is stuff that is downright _wrong_ or not covered, it's likely the release will get -1s until it can be addressed. If it's something that's a bit of a grey area (eg the licensing is correct but it's not called out quite correctly in top level NOTICE files or such) then I often see a '+1, please fix the following for your next release'.
