Absolutely--note how successful Microsoft has been with this approach--

I like this idea, except:
-It may unreasonably hinder group work
-If group work does take place, it will be coordinated via c.l.p,
which Guido doesn't like much (or is that disapproval only if
there is already a relevant SIG?)
