Well I'm not sure it has been in the past?
IMO a few minor changes are OK - and desirable even.
I don't remember a review when NO changes were required.
Nor a product that was never modified - that's why Boost code is good?

IMO, as far too often, far too many fundamental issues are being raised far
too late in the whole development and review process.
