</span>No, this is not reasonable. While one might object philosophically to a<br>
tollbooth on an Interstate highway, that's the way the world is, and<br>
noting it as a tollbooth is adequate.<br>

</span>I agree that we should have higher expectations of people working within<br>
the project vs just editing by themselves.<br>

<br>
</span>I also agree that we should have higher expectations of both<br>
geographically smaller changesets (except in limited cases where they<br>
are clearly completely uncontroversial) and more descriptive comments.<br>
Unfortunately it seems that making edits without being willing to engage<br>
with others and non-useful changeset comments are correlated.<br>
