 Yeah, there's certainly a flood of data here, enough of it contradictory
 and wrong that I don't see anything I can actually act on.

 So in conclusion, it has not yet appeared to me that the descriptor takes
 time to be included in the consensus. In fact, that's what the consensus
 *is* -- it's a consensus of which descriptors the authorities are voting
 about.
