Because as a heckler, you get to chime in on the cases you care about,
and yet not end up writing opinions, or trying to come up to speed
on things far outside your areas of interest; this also helps keep
one's time commitment to a more reasonable level.

One of the problems that PSARC has had is that those who are doing
interesting work often found it difficult to justify the time
commitment involved in active participation.  This would sometimes
lead to having folks involved on PSARC who hadn't actually delivered
a project involving substantial change to the system in many years.
