   If success is only to be measured in terms of published output, this
   is ignoring one of the functions of c.s.r--to improve the quality of
   the programs that are released through it.  I don't have the formal
   numbers, but I think fewer than 50% of the packages reviewed by c.s.r
   have passed muster.  (A number never even got to the reviewing stage because
   they failed to pass a simple 'sanity' check.)

And some never even got the the reviewing stage because a qualified
reviewer could not be found.  (Guess who this happened to :-)
