The list at your URL gives not a list of what is _done_ for a heavy 
edit, but what factors, if present, make one necessary. That seems to 
tell me that there is a process in place for saying "OK, this, this, and 
this, really look kind of messed up, and we might need a heavy edit, 
what should I do?" - the part about medium edits specifically talks 
about reporting to management, describing problems if they think a 
medium edit may be necessary. And I cannot see why this was not done, 
or, if it was done, why it was rejected.
