or victims of policy of that same 'vintage'... doing things faster isn't
bad, doing it with less checks and balances and more people willing to
abuse the lack of checks/balances seems like a bad idea.  If you can get a
domain added to the system fresh in 5min or less, why does it take +90
days to get it removed when all data about the domain is patently false
and the CC used to purchase the domain was reported stolen 2+years ago?

I don't mean to pick on anyone in particular, but wow, to me this seems
like just a policy update requirement.
