Um, it came from Jimbo declaring it as the right approach here after the Siegenthaler fuckup. Perhaps that was before your time.
Well, no, I was around for that. I don't recall "nuke from orbit" being part of the discussion, and for good reason.
I remember it being indeed part of the discussion, and certainly that concept if not those words.
This is the danger in "community knowledge" policy.
We have 20x as many users, several times as many admins, and most of the admins now present weren't on-project when the Siegenthaller sr issue happened (I arrived a couple of months later, for example).
It's gotta get written down.
