This is the only argument I have heard in favor of keeping the review queue, and yet, I don't see how such an issue would be caught in review of a consumer application. Is there a clearly good reason that we need to continue this review process? If not, I find it very frustrating that we're slowing things down so much because of imagined boogie-men. The idea of permission-just-in-case-someone-does-a-bad-thing is opposed to the wiki model of keeping things as open as possible and addressing problems as they happen. In the meantime, we're encouraging bad behavior by making the OAuth system such a pain to work with. I understand that you're doing this in your free time csteipp, but the pain of delays is still inflicted on tool developers all the same. Maybe it is inappropriate that such a key infrastructure (and official requirement for Labs-based tools) is left up to volunteer time of someone who is apparently overworked. 1. How long is this transition process supposed to take? 2. Should I start making my argument to the Stewards now? 3. Is there a public conversation about this transition that I can participate in? -Aaron On Wed, Oct 28, 2015 at 10:50 AM, Chris Steipp <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, Oct 27, 2015 at 11:23 PM, Brian Wolff <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On 10/27/15, Ricordisamoa <[email protected]> wrote: > > > ALL of my OAuth applications expired without anyone noticing.
