I understand what de-railing means. I'm reacting mostly to the withdrawal of the case. But also, when it comes to FOSS, the ARC can't be de-railing too often, else the process will be unbearable, which is partly why I asked if it wouldn't be better if all non-core FOSS always went through /contrib first: partly because the ARC would be less relevant to FOSS then, partly because the i-teams would get instant gratification, partly because it'd give the potentially controversial cases time to soak.
