You have a point. We can drop "first come first served" and give ourselves maximum flexibility.

Again, you have a point. However, choosing content by committee means that maybe there won't be that many automatic "Yes" or automatic "No" proposals. It's not as easy as when you have one person deciding

In general I agree with the point, though - there's no need to make people wait any longer than necessary.
