Doing it in FIFO would mean the DAM would not be allowed to start
processing whoever's next before finishing up reviewing the one at the
top of the queue. That's braindead; the DAM could, for example, find a
problem that would require further explanation before this person could
be processed; or could see someone in the queue whom he knows to be
competent and valuable and would want to process first.
