To me, it makes sense to give "a reasonable timeframe for the problems
to be corrected before a block is put in place" before blocking
extensions over accidental violations. Violations of the installation
guideline typically seem obviously intentional. I don't see why we
should give extension developers who violate the installation
guideline in a way that looks intentional the benefit of the doubt and
wait before blocklisting.
