This is an interesting comparison, because there are still not enough reviewers even though it is mandatory. Also everyone directly benefits from the reviews, because there are clear statements what is checked and there are more often issues to be fixed in reviews, than there are updates that are bad. And in addition people who care already extra review packages and catch issues that were not found in the official review or check packages after guidelines changed, like there are checks for the static libs guidelines. So there is non mandatory action to fix brokenness and I am very sure that there would be more if more packages were when reviews were not mandatory, as long as the Guidelines make sense and help the packages to interact. There are even people catching mistakes in commits currently, which is also completely non mandatory. Regards Till
