I think this is a sensible suggestion, although like you, I wonder if
many people have "enough zeal" to do this regularly.

I like most of your other suggestions, too, although I wonder if we
would keep them up after a period of good intentions.

It seems likely to me that the software will stabilize in major
respects on the current codebase.  Policy almost never changes in any
major ways.
