I agree this would be more direct. But I fail to see how Walter 
cherry-picking stuff is "basically no additional work", whereas Adam 
doing essentially the same is an unenviable "amount of labor".

Besides, if Walter is at the same time doing things and deciding their 
category may work worse than a small team making the assessment by 
consensus.
