I don't think that a QA error should "kill the build" because then no build 
from scratch would be possible.
We have a QA error in coreutils-native because it doesn't inherit gettext. But 
adding this inherit would result in a dependencie loop.

So if a QA error would stop build we would need something for those 
situations.

And additionally i think that most QA errors aren't fatal because most of them 
are for non-standard .desktop files.
