I'm also going to note that we're talking about adding more because at the
meeting we talked about the lack of volunteers for the recent stable cycle
and it was suggested that people are less willing to sign up when it's the
same few bugs getting listed over and over for basesystem, and the rest of
it is generally shaken out.  By this perspective it's time to add more
spells partly to keep more people involved.

Of course if this perspective is wrong then people are just too busy and
adding more spells will make us miss dates.  So if we add any for the next
release and we don't get volunteers for them, it seems obvious to me they
have to come back off.  Small steps, no regressions.
