Possibly. I think I actually used "decision garbage collector", but the
notion is exactly the one you explained.
FWIW, that aspect of the DPL "job" seems to be frequently overlooked in
DPL candidate platforms, which often tend to focus on ambitious Debian
reform plans. They are all fine and well of course, but DPL time will in
the end have to be split among implementing those plans and tending to
often unpredictable day by day duties, with the latter often dominating
the DPL agenda (IME).
Cheers.
