This!,  well A variation.  I suggest 'Twenty' not '20'

The process used to be fun.  It isn't any more.  This specific instance
has created several rifts in our community, hurt feelings and more than
a little stress.

Apart from that as we have fewer developers it takes resources that are
now better spent elsewhere.

Yes it will make some of out tooling that assumes alphabetical order a
little strange but not too bad, and we were going to have to fix that
soon anyway.

Yours Tony.
