Yuletide Weather Forecast:
 
Temperatures are estimated to fluctuate between active panic and total apathy into the next weekend. Main assignments will have a minimum temperature of regret and a complete climate change once editing is complete. Expect treat writing to continue at all free hours unless the dangerous front of procrastination cropping up in the Northeast successful moves into the area, effectively killing the treat storm conditions for the season.

Because treaters and pinch hitters would still not get a guaranteed (extra)b gift, so "hundreds of people are going to have at least one more assignment than they're "owed" gifts" would still be true. Yes, that's true, sorry for misleading phrasing.

A better way of describing my assumption is that, if socking were explicitly allowed and welcomed, i think there would be a lot more people who sign up several times but write the same amount they would have written otherwise. When some of those accounts go out to ph, that would potentially create a larger load on the ph pool and cause problems (but that scale load/problems doesnt currently exist).
