> So, I could ask, what's special about 72 hours?
It was to prevent things from sneaking out during a weekend by a secret cabal when people are otherwise engaged... Plus, again, based on the old adage that people who are involved are doing so *as volunteers*, and, as volunteers, there avail cycles would ebb and flow, 72 hours was/is a nice compromise to allow for semi-quick decisions but still enough time so that people didn't consider all this effort as work, instead of fun.
