The city worker, CM and CMA code is huge and complex. I fear that if we
move default over to a MoM model, the former model will get minimal
priority, bitrot fast, and the many bugs in it won't get fixed. So I don't
like the idea of having rarely used code of that complexity in the
codebase.

Same problem as with random movement, only much larger...
