I am going to disagree with you here. The last five reviews have been Hub =
(accepted first go), Multi (pending second review), Decimal (accepted afte=
r two reviews), SQLite (rejected after second review), Bloom (accepted fir=
st go). I would hardly say that standards have lowered. If you start from =
the bottom of the review results page and work up you'll see large streaks=
 of acceptances in short time periods [1].
