I know Jorge has this in mind, but it also concerns me. We need to
keep the flow flowing. It's better to have less quality but real users
excited and pushing real and usable charms forward, than a handful of
charms and a deceived community. That's not to say we should do a bad
job, but I'm more concerned at this time about blocking organic
evolution than I am about having the perfect charms on day one.

If you know how to have three ACKs while keeping things moving
steadily and timely, you rock to an amazing degree. :-)
