Actually, I was thinking of disabling the AWL feature altogether ... it
might make a few extra false-positives to need to release, but I doubt it
will make a huge difference ...

Maybe disable AWL and leave score threshold at 5 ... ? I can adjust
after, based on # of false positives ... if false positives don't go up,
then without AWL causes no adverse problems ... then I can look at
adjusting score threshold down while watching for false-positives ...
