Well, it's an indication that a package is poorly implemented ...

Whether lack of docs shall result into not shipping a package needs to be judged
on a case by case basis. If the core functionalties aren't documented, I don't
see a problem in qualifying a package as "not ready for shipping".

We also have a number of packages which are failing their tests :(

I know, but these actually are limitations of the build-system.

I prefer seeing these packages packaged in a way such tests can be enabled by
rpmbuild options (--with ...) for builts outside of the build-system (It's at
least what I try for my perl-packages.

I probably will ;)
