Odinn - as I think I pointed out a couple of pages above, most curators don't have a PhD in everything that might be found on an eval, half the time (more, actually) they never turn up on site anyway, and they're generally far too overworked to start peer-reviewing stuff (and I'm not clear that that's part of their remit anyway - Vulpes want to contribute on that?), which will obviously get considerably worse if the expected mass-cull occurs in the next year or so.
Gnomeking - think you've missed the point of an eval, they're to find out what's there to inform further mitigation (if any), not to conduct a full-scale research dig. 'Hidden Potential' gets put forward in the relevent section of the eval report for consideration when developing any subsequent mitigation strategy - which might be to go build somewhere else in which case we don't ever get to find out what that potential is, but c'est la vie.
