The hourly release let a mistaken bulk unassignment drain one consumer an hour
with nobody deciding. Per novox/hq ADR 0230 a consumer is retired (disabled,
marked, data kept) only after the same unasked set in five consecutive passes;
more than 3, or more than half of those held, waits for approve or reject.
Deletion is a separate act of a person, of a retired consumer only.
