it's actually become quite humorous to see all the efforts
to "route around the damage" caused by the bad workflow.
they're repeating rounds, skipping rounds, limiting people,
cajoling people, it's a cavalcade of exceptions to the rule...
and hey, it makes perfect sense to "make someone happy"
(i.e., shut them up) if you can do it by doing them a favor.
meanwhile, if you're not a "special case" and you don't get
"special treatment", you'd better enjoy the end of the line.
