Sure. Workflow should be as simple as possible, particularly
considering that it has to be usable by people without any training
whatsoever.
That is, in an open-source environment, if your workflow is
complex, people just won't follow it. In corporate environments you can
train people and manage them and so on, but that's just too hectic when
you have a zillion individuals working together across the world.
So often, instead of thinking about workflow in this sort of an
environment, I tend to think of each field as a separate thing with a
separate meaning, that should be set only when it, itself, needs to be
set.
