I think the choice is roughly between (a) assuming that GWP people will 
usually do the right thing, and letting them go ahead, so long as they 
are willing to clean up mistakes promptly, and (b) providing an up-front 
review opportunity so that mistakes don't make it into the tree.  In 
other words, is speculative execution OK?

I'm comfortable with (a), but I don't have a problem with (b) either, 
and it's very clear that for V3 (b) is strongly preferred.
