That "exception process" is a joke! It takes too long to get approval from 2 
people, one in a medium-sized group and the other in a very large group, and 
so the process is that you need to get 5 votes out of a group of only 9 
people which only meets once a week instead? (Not to mention that they'll 
probably say "-1, just get a proventester to test it".) Needless to say, 
this ridiculous process has never ever been used.

But practically speaking, it is.
