While you have a good point about edit wars, ArbCom is an extremely slow 
process even now, when it has sped up considerably.  Considering that it 
would first require an attempt at resolution (e.g. RfC, mediation), then 
would have to be accepted by ArbCom, evidence gathered and presented, voted 
on, then closed, it's hard to imagine this process could take less than a 
month.

By the way, I note with some dismay that though most of the new ArbCom 
members are working hard cleaning up the backlog, some appear to be AWOL.  
I'm not sure why this is the case, since they all volunteered for, and won, 
a hard fought election.

Jay.
