Part of the sanity checking is looking at what's requested itself.

Lots of people are taking advantage of it precisely because it is
trivial to sign up. Yes, that means some of the projects will be
abandoned but look at the number of projects in
fedorahosted.org which
haven't even bothered to edit the front page and provide a simple
description of what it is all about. I don't think we are doing anything
that is obviously better.
And do you think the quality of the projects at fedorahosted is going
to get better or get worse if we make it happen automatically?
I think it will decline.
