Why even have a final review then? Shouldn't the community review 
only end if there are no more changes to be made? If changes are 
made after the Final Review, then those changes won't get to be 
reviewed. If the author doesn't take any criticism of their work 
and decides their DIP is a shiny pile of words that doesn't needy 
any more polishing, why have the community review the same thing 
again? If that is how it is intended to be then it is a flawed 
system at that.
