How is that a problem?
FWIW, I personally think that as it is, we already have way too much
bureaucracy in how we recruite new developers. I agree we should put a
line somewhere regarding who we let in and who we don't, but that
shouldn't be done by making it a process with more rules and regulations
which, accumulated, takes longer than the process to become a police
officer or so.
If even that.

That's a horrible idea.

So you're not really changing anything then, are you? What's the
problem?
