Threads calling out tools not meeting a criteria _is_ the audit. Its not new reccomendations that have these issue. The problem is, and always will be, these tools are not static. They change and can evolve into something that then does not meet the criteria.

To me, speed is the big issue. Personally I think focusing on updating the proccess of how these issues are raised such as

would help. I also think a lot of resources are taken up just having to verify user claims. Whether users are right or wrong there is a lack of focus on being evidence based in the thread.
