This sounds like a fine and productive suggestion.

It is not *completely* obvious that this is the right way to behave,
however -- one of the arguments for IAR as applied to admins, for
instance, has long been that other admins can rv your actions right
back -- and it is not currently understood as policy.  So it is not
surprising that many admins don't operate under this understanding.
