The devs would likely find that suggestion amusing.
The overall significance of the English Wikipedia's "AFD" process is
probably lower than you think. Our goal is to build a better
encyclopedia. The programmers' goal is to build better general-purpose
software for web sites.
Everything else is hoops and turnstiles, particularly this.
I remember discussing this with at least one developer at some point.
It should be doable in a way that doesn't hardcode the English
Wikipedia's policies - or so I'm told. I wasn't convinced - I think
people are so used to the policies that they don't realise when they
are assuming them.
