Not at all a good idea. But I'm not convinced that authors always
do remove PROD notices. When they don't, something is achieved, in
the sense that AfD is relieved of the burden.
In my experience, PRODs will take place about 80% of the time, but of
that 80% about 25% will later be contested. So far I've seen exactly
one article that really should have died survive a PROD and an AfD,
and one more get PRODded, undeleted, and then survive AfD.
