That requires a presumption that each and every license submission
should be treated like a gold tablet sent down from God to Moses (or
is that Joseph Smith -- I think I'm confusing my religions here).  The
marginal value of the next license approval request is approaching
zero.

I've got Chris DiBona's disease: new licenses make me yawn.  Sorry.
Licenses that are interesting don't comply with the OSD, and licenses
that do are too close to the existing licenses to be interesting.
