---------------
David, the long discussion on-wiki was in general about
A) the bot tagging 11 thousand images in a few days and then 
B) stating that there was some kind of deadline by which they all had to be  
reviewed.
 
Putting that sort of extreme workload out on the system, creates a  situation 
in which admins rush through trying to reduce the backlog.  That  is never a 
reasonable approach, imho.  This issue would have never been  raised had the 
bot been programmed to do no more than say 200 a day or  whatever.
 
I'm sure we can all agree that creating thousands of cases to review is not  
a useful result.
