Sure.  But if the policy says "Thou shalt not SNOWBALL early close
normal AFDs" then we can set people on fire if they close them early
anyways.

If something is truly likely to snowball, one should PROD it, not AFD
it.  Snowballs are an indication that someone is taking an
uncontroversial delete (or very clearly should be deleted delete)
through the controversial or questionable deletion process role AFD is
now.

The process change should also increase PROD time runs to 7 calendar
days to ensure at least one weekend is included as well, for the same
reason.
