This doesn't ring intuitively true for me. Maybe you're talking about
running a "repoman full" for every committed package; I'm not. The
checks Doug describes are all package-local. What makes this process
so expensive?

Even if it is true, the solution would be akin to more post-push check
automation (like some of Michal's work) instead of blocking
automation, not just saying "people should verify things before they
push".
