Yes. The truth is that Tinderbox (which Redports uses) has been wrong
about QA since at least April 2014. The recent Pkg changes have only
made it a little more obvious.

Someone really needs to fix Tinderbox. The list of work is here:

I suggest people stop using Redports for QA. It is only useful for
checking if it builds - not if it packages or has plist/QA issues.
