There are many ways to go about "raising the bar"; making Andrei 
the sole arbiter of a design's quality will not necessarily 
accomplish this, but will make the need for constant 
communication with him a major bottleneck for development, 
regardless. It also risks making him into a single point of 
failure.

I do not think this approach will scale in the long run, no 
matter who is given that role. Of course, I would be happy to be 
proven wrong.
