Would that every RFA get the attention the bureaucrats gave Danny's. I hope the 'crats will apply the rule "relevant criteria only" to objects from now on, as irrelevant objections have been the greatest problem so far.
Bureaucrats burn out. Replacements will either have to lie in their RFB or commit to not making decision in that way.
Or have the relevance criterion applied to those bureaucrats. Or select bureaucrats another way, e.g. Cabal appointment. You're positing a broken RFB as an immovable block; it's not.
The bureaucrats in this case used a form of decision that was pretty much the only alternative to razing RFA to the ground. (If they'd come to a consensus of "no" rather than "yes", it would have been as good a decision.)
