Historically it hasn't made a difference when we run the inspect tool. 
People mostly ignored it and hence why we have an accumulation problems 
now. Now perhaps that it's in the form of a constant nagging email 
instead of a web page people will pay attention (cross-fingers).

As for the amount of work I don't think libraries have diverged that 
much between HEAD and RC so it's likely not that much work since one 
only has to merge to the RC branch.

Not sure about the schedule, but definitely it will running all the time 
from now on. I haven't enabled runs of it in HEAD yet as I expect that 
would generate a somewhat larger set of issues. But perhaps we could 
start such runs on HEAD on a weekly schedule?

(Did a test run, and the *LC* email on HEAD would exceed the 75K limit. 
Only by a hair though.)

Yep :-)
