The thing is that readding them properly takes extra work and sometimes
people might forget to do a repocopy.  It would be more appropriate to
disconnect them from the build and give original committer couple of
days to react, not silently removing them without even providing a log
which shows the failure.  I totally understand Yuri's frustration here.
