Is that true? When was the family of deletion processes last 
reconsidered? If we had a good look at PROD-like mechanisms, which could 
be partially automated, and "holding areas" where marginal content could 
be placed in limbo, what would we come up with? What if stub-sorting (by 
topic) were more integrated with quality sorting? We have certainly not 
scaled any great heights of sophistication in dealing with the influx of 
articles. That may or may not be a good thing, but there is surely scope 
for innovation.
