Needing 3 out of 19 instead of 3 out of 20 isn't an order of magnatude according to my calculator.   Its much closer/fairer than making it 2/19 vs 3/20.

If a change is borderline in that it can only get 2 other cores maybe it doesn't have a strong enough case for an exception.

Can core reviewers who have features up for review have this number
lowered to two (2) sponsoring cores, as they in reality then need four
(4) cores (since they themselves are one (1) core but cannot really
vote) making it an order of magnitude more difficult for them to hit
this checkbox?
