That just doesn't seem right to me.
It is. The whole point is that PROD is for uncontested deletion - a
lightweight process to take the load of obvious-but-not-quite-speedy
rubbish off AFD. If the original PRODder really thinks it should be
dead, they can bother with an AFD.
PROD is intended to be lightweight - that's its main point. It doesn't
need complication - an AFD is not *that* hard to make.
