Possible Notification of Violating Webmaster Guidlines

Is it really true?

On the Sitemaps blog today, they state about the new sitemaps interface,

We may use the summary page to tell you if a site has violated the webmaster guidelines so you can correct the problems and request reinclusion.

I see it as a great tool for honest webmasters, however also a tool for spammers to see how far they can push their luck.

I think that Google reports with this feature only completely dropped sites.
