I think all John (and Richard) are saying is that the person who puts
out that list should him/herself make judgment calls about the items,
and perhaps remove some of them from the list even without asking.
As long as the removal is not done by a program, but by humans, I
think considering each candidate before producing the list is a
reasonable compromise.
