Some tasks require a lot more try use than others. For example, debugging an intermittent orange that has been observed only on our test machines might require a lot of try use, in a way where each step requires a try cycle and a cycle taking too long means the person doing the work forgets what was going on. The same person, later in the month, might be working on a high priority bug that blocks a release. A quota system would just discourage somebody from trying to fix the intermittent orange. -David -- 𝄞 L.
