Re: @doctor syntax
From what I hear going through the MLAT process can sometimes take up to a year. I still wouldn't support the idea of ignoring the MLAT in any sort of routine way, but that sort of delay would certainly show why they're keen to avoid it.
Of course some might suggest the best solution is to reform the processes used when making requests that involve using MLATs, but nobody seems to be interested in that.
