That is good advice because I have had more than one part I authored
get held ONLY because the reviewer thought it should be BFCed when no
claim was made by the part that it should be BFCed.
BFCing may be a good idea, and if someone wants to go to the extra
effort to do so them more power to them. But I agree that parts
should not be held only for not being BFCed, and I am glad to see that
my thoughts on this are not out of line.
