Forget the +2.  I would want Bob to have -2 capability on Neutron.

A -1 can be reset with just a new review.  A -2  is the real power of 
core.  The power to say "this is wrong, and you need to address it 
before it moves on."

And I say that as someone who has been on the receiving end of multiple 
-2s...
