I agree it's definitely gone up recently, and agree that it causes a
lot of wasted time.  I'm not convinced about closing the tree,
though; keeping the tree closed for extended periods just leads to
big backups.

How about everybody reading this message takes a look at the list on
http://brasstacks.mozilla.com/orangefactor/ and takes one of them to
fix?  (Or, better, redoes the search filtered on the last 3 days
instead of last 7.)
