I really wish we had enough available eyeballs to review everything. I suggest that the most careful review is required for the sort of changes that 'core developers' produce. If nothing else it is a way to reduce the truck-factor and make sure that things are explained well enough for someone not heavily involved in the original work to be able to understand what is being done.

No ceremony at all worries me. Call me Captain Slow (cf James May) but I like procedures. They're recipes for maintaining sanity over time.
