Well, Sourcewallas don't need to work intelligently, really. We
already have lots of functions that similarly avoid the use of
unnecessary intelligence - speedy deletion of subspace drafts, for
example.  So it's not an editorial concept as much as it is a
gathering concept, and the role is not so much an editorial role but
one of interface.

I understand both bias and device, but I don't think these are really
all that relevant if we can still AGF a little bit. Roles help keep
things simple, and applying concepts of principle to simple roles
means that any deviations can be detected without much subjectivity
involved.

Redundancy can work too - there is no need to rely on just one
sourcewalla. And in any case good people can keep each other honest if
their collective mode of function is one of openness.
