The current system is a binary "it's good enough to merge now" and "it has zero 
merit whatsoever and should never be looked at again."

There's a continuum in between those poles, and that is what the PZ is for. I 
listed 4 reasons a PR may fall in that continuum.

One is to keep the autotester from wasting resources on those.

The other is the political/marketing issue of "what are those old PRs doing 
there? They should just be merged or closed!"
