Well, that's almost how this NM process started ... the DAM did say "we
don't process NM anymore, it's too complicated, we're overwhelmed". And
then some DD decided to not let contributors on the side and we decided to
"sponsor" them and later on we wuilt on that process to create the
current process.
I'm not advocating to create parallel NM process in this case, because the
people handling it are open to suggestions and patches.
Michael was simply pointing out that your generalization of the probem
diiverted from the specific problem that we're trying to handle here...
and as such the "generic" discussion should be moved somewhere else.
