There is a review, not exactly as you suggested (we need more structure 
than that, even). Currently Letterrip, Campbell and I manage scripts as 
time permits us (*). What we've discussed in meetings and would like to 
have is a system where scripts would be tested at least on linux, win 
and osx and conform to our basic guidelines, in particular good 
documentation.

(*) As mentioned, this problem was an oversight (mine I thought, but 
Letterrip disagrees :) ) and btw it seems it was only a single line 
left-over. But if we consider that the actual testing system (in its 
"informal" part) includes the other coders and users, the problem was 
indeed caught before the release.

The issue: proper scripts organization (integration in Blender and error 
reporting, good docs, heavily tested stability) is also part of the 
bigger plan that starts with the API overhaul, so it's pending. It's 
better to first update the API at once and then get script authors to 
update for it according to well defined guidelines, checked by coders 
and users at a forum.

So: the bpy and scripts teams are aware of the entropy issues and 
fighting (again, as time and what goes on with Blender development 
permit) to structure, update and upgrade things. Help always welcomed. 
Just to make sure:

Not-offended-at-all-ly yours,
