I think the consensus is that it is not really mature enough for general adoption. Also, most people prefer to use one of the specification libraries that are available (spec, schema, malli). These allow you to do a sort of design-by-contra

Hey sorry about that. I will take down the old FAQ, or at least redirect it to the new one. The other thing not mentioned in that section of the FAQ (that I will add now) is the re-review phase. When you miss a card during review it will go
