The intention was for it to be done off the main lists, and of course consensus judgements will be involved at some point -- but I think foresight of major incidents and a likely increase degree of carefulness compared to the early days of the game will make the state somewhat more accurate than what we believe. And it's mostly to pacify my true B player nature; of course it doesn't actually matter.
