What is "review queue bloat" in this scenario? How is a change
indefinitely left in Gerrit with "workflow -1" set any different
from a change indefinitely left in Gerrit with "abandoned" set? It's
not like we go through and purge changes from Gerrit based on these,
and they take up just as much space and other resources in either
state.
