That would require the person bringing the case to be the one to
decide on the potential remedies (with arbitrators just voting yea or
nay). Since remedies are meant to benefit the project, rather than the
person bringing the case (ie. they aren't suing for damages, it's more
like a criminal prosecution), it doesn't make sense for that person to
decide the limit on the remedies.
