Such as?

As it stands, to get anything into Phobos, someone needs to champion it and be 
willing to do all of the work necessary to get it ready and through the review 
process and into Phobos. If no one cares that much about it, then it's just 
not going to make it in.

That seems a bit extreme. It's definitely taking longer than would be desirable 
for some stuff, but it's not going to take 3 years for anything if people 
actually care about it and work on it. We've had a fairly steady set of 
reviews going of late, some of which have passed and some of which haven't, so 
new stuff is making it into Phobos on a regular basis.
