I think it's a good idea. It just changes the process
a bit and shortens the time involved in getting a
better copy into the collection. The present
alternative is that a validator rejects it, maybe
posts that it needs a rescan, and then someone else
may or may not rescan it and it may never get into the
collection. At the very least it would take a lot
longer.
