But they allready are in the wastebin! Nobody will look at any change
from 2002 and earlier. You can deny it, but this doesn't change it.

The only difference is that with a "timeout" we would actually tell people
that we failed, and giving them a chance to react.

I totally agree with you that *if it is possible* we should examine every
changeset, starting with the oldest. But it is completly imposible to do
with the setup we have now. 

You are welcome to start up the BFAV and prove that I am wrong.
