Either way we have too little developer time to go round. I still
decided to belabor Werner on this issue because he basically outed
himself as a user and fan of the feature, and I had little else to work
with here. Like with the discussion groups: if we don't find a way to
have a working trickle-down started for reviews, developers will get
congested and exhausted eventually, physically (including their time
budget) as well as mentally. It is good that we get into a shape where
we need the humans mostly to do the job of humans only. But we can't
replace that. And so we'll need more humans.
