As this is not a CFJ, the following is not a gratuitous argument:

We have recently developed a trend of treating only the final revision as a 
“duty-fulfilling report” when a series of revisions are CoE’d. This shows up 
in, for example, the recently-repealed Payday, where I had paid people only 
once even for reports which received multiple revisions and nobody complained.

That’s probably worth codifying or passing through judgement, but I’m out of AP 
and I need to keep my Shinies to pay the auction winner with.
