What the heck happened that made the question I answered so popular (and my answer along with it)?
As a sidenote to @slhck's comment regarding the hotness algorithm, WOW is the "Related" algorithm sucking even harder when it comes to that question. It seems obsessed with 32-bit vs. 64-bit OS and app questions. (And one genuinely-related question, "How many memory addresses can we get with a 32-bit processor and 1gb ram?") I suppose that may be the fault of the question tagging, which currently consists entirely of the woefully inadequate [64-bit], [32-bit].

Make reviewers explain why they accept a suggested edit
(I realize both that there's a lot of mold growing on this, and that the suggestion was already declined, but since I wound up here and found this point un-made, I thought I'd add it.) Basically, I agree with @soandos. The missing consideration here is the reason for the reject explanations, which is to educate the submitter, not to create work for the reviewer. Nobody needs it explained to them why their good edit is accepted, but most people appreciate the courtesy of an explanation when they're refused. "Balancing" the reviewer tasks is focusing on the wrong aspect of the process.

Can't login to Super User
Yes it is. But one for which no actual answers (or even possible explanations) were provided, which would have left anyone with the same issue who finds it kind of un-helped. Which would be OK, if it were unlikely that anyone WOULD be arriving here with the same issue. Unfortunately, as I explained, this problem is going to come up for openid.org users every time they drop the ball and let their security certificate expire. That's already happened several times in the past, and there's unfortunately no reason to think it might not happen again. The latest certificate expires on 2013-03-13...
