There are many ways of getting to Rome ;-)
I think and hope that, with DM in place, NM will be modified in the
end. Probably, NM will have as a prerequisite or step being a DM. This
will ease frustration because of the delays and checks - The applicant
might be judged according to his actual work, according to how many
"stupid uploads" (i.e. b0rked packages) he has uploaded, maybe
measured with many almost-immediate uploads or something like
that. As, after all, he will be uploading to unstable, no _real_ harm
should stem from a not-perfectly-made package - And, after all, it
won't be _that_ easy to become a DM either, I hope ;-)
