Hi, maybe it is an interesting opportunity to look at adding hooks for more
fine grained things. Because in that hook, it seems you will end up checking
all those things (DB access). And if the hooks were added to other places like
when a debarment is generated, then you would have the debarment object in
context, and no DB access would be required.
