Here's the problem, it's the 80-20 rule. Just in this case reversed, in
the sense that 80% of the noise comes from 20% of the people (and I'd
argue even less than 20%).

We have a system that works nicely, and most people don't even complain
about it. A few asked why, and when they were told they said "ok". A
couple complained that it's not as easy but kept going and _one_ is
destructively removing references to the logs and ignoring valid bugs on
his own packages (caused by his own packages most of the time), because
they smell.

It does seem logical that I'm not going to rollback months of work just
because one guy can't be bothered to play well with others, doesn't it?
