I should add that Feburary 10 -> March 8 is *entirely too long* for a WP:OFFICE protection. Anyone finding something protected that long should be verrrrrrrrry welcome to email Danny *and* me (cc please) to ask what is up. Normally that length of protection would indicate either a mistake or something serious.
I would say that in most cases, WP:OFFICE need not result in protection (semi-protection is more likely), and when there is protection it should normally not be for more than a couple of days.
This resolves almost all of my concerns about this situation. As an avowed eventualist I can withstand _anything_ for a couple of days. :)
