Thanks for doing this! I think we can be rather strict. If a human is doing a lot of work, we can ask him to try again in 4 hours. And send us a message that this happened, so that we can tune the limit. Perhaps for specific cases. Please send me a diff of the changes you made (or the new files) privately. Otherwise a sync from my side might overwrite your changes. Cc John Beckett, he is also keeping an eye on things. -- hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict: 255.
