I suspect your complaint was read by many as package foo is already in the
repo but spin bar is not being allowed to include it which would be a odd
problem but if a package itself is not in the repository due to board's
concerns then we just need to wait for the board to finish their
re-evaluation.  Since they have already said they will, this is being given
due consideration.

If you can find packages that board decided not to allow, sure, bring it
up.  I don't remember any such cases besides SQLninja.  Everything else was
either discarded due to non-conformance with legal or packaging guidelines.
