all aboard the "locking threshold should be higher than regular threshold" train

Now that we're done, and this has been brought up a few times, I'm on it too. Putting an intentionally high cap that wouldn't normally be hit would sort of let locks and the "vanilla" system co-exist during the nom period. Normally people might let something like a 6 sit because "surely it's safe" and no one will pull support from it at that point, but if the lock goal was 10 or 11 then a few more people would throw supports just to ensure it. But this way songs that don't get locked aren't doomed on the last day; if they don't get pushed to lock then they still have the same strong numbers that they had originally. There might not even need to be a lock deadline in this case. If there is still a separate lock deadline then it sounds like nearly everyone is in agreement that it needs to be closer to the final end date.
