"function of VFU is to undelete articles that have been processed properly but shouldn't have been deleted"
Huh? What kind of process can be followed properly, yet produce an incorrect result? I bet that C. Edwards Deming is rolling in his grave over this one.
Quality results come from people at the top, carrying out their responsibility.
If our system is broken, "consensus" (i.e., bottom-up, let's vote on it) thinking is not going to fix it.
I didn't delete VFD just to have fun. The system is broken and must be fixed. We need to come up with One Workable Plan and lobby the community to accept it.
