More than that, the OSI never AFAIK takes official action to declare a
license not OSD-compliant.  Acceptance implies OSD-compliance, in the
judgment of the board (backstopped, if necessary, by the judgment of
a judge).  But rejection implies nothing.

Not at all.  You decide on OSI certification and that's it.
