I'll agree 85% with Matt. As a casual LDraw user, I'd love to see new parts
being available more quickly, which might be done with a more streamlined
process. What I agree with Matt about is perhaps redefining the level of
"acceptable" standards for parts authoring. From my own experience with various
things, it takes X effort to reach 85% perfection, and at least X effort again
to achieve the final 15%. If 85% gets more usable parts into circulation, I
would be happy with that (although I'm sure some others would require more
stringent quality). My definition of 85% would be parts that would render at
high resolution with no visible defects.
The answer to the current question seems fairly obvious to an outsider like me:
duplicate (within reason) what TLG has produced, not what you THINK they
should've produced.
And no, I don't author parts, or intend to start... but I'll continue using
'em.
