It goes back to what Armando mentioned. If I don’t trust my fellow core 
reviewers, for *whatever reason*, we have much bigger problems than company 
affiliation.

I was told when I joined that the same company shouldn’t +2/+2/+A, which I 
follow, but even then, it’s a judgement call. I mean, who cares if the same 
company merges proposal bot? I certainly don’t. Nor would I think ill of it 
even for a second for a gate fix or the like.

It’s usually pretty obvious when one entity is trying to shove something in to 
the detriment of the project. And I’d rather just have a conversation with 
those folks at the time, and deal with the social problem, rather than trying 
to pass a million bureaucratic rules to cover every what-if. It’s not that I 
like having difficult conversations; I just like a world with a million little 
rules even less.
