And unfortunately, I'm about 99% sure that identifying slop is rapidly going to approach undecidability. We're lucky it still emits em-dashes. Unless we plan on converting the list to semi-public (which feels the anti-thesis of Linux), i'm not sure how you get there from here. So the risk is - do you over-bury and make it invisible, knowing we'll miss legitimate bugs and fixes - or do you do something (anything) that helps you ignore it while still being inspectable and curated. And burning tokens to fight tokens is just blatantly a losing battle. ~Gregory
