Ok, if someone comes up with a serious proposal then I'll voice my nay 
or aye on it but the thought of entirely turning off AFD for even a 
short period of time is ludicrious.

At the risk of being a bore on this topic, I think Uncontested  Deletions has some potential as a way to reduce the volume at AFD....

    "According to Dragonsflight’s 100 days survey, 58.2% of all AFD nominations resulted in uncontested deletions. No one, not even the creator, voted to keep those articles."
    
    I'm not proposing this as a total replacement of AFD however....
