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 :-)
