I think this trivializes the scope of what the BBC developed. Even with well automated processes, you'd still want a human doing light QA given the wide diversity of content. The BBC has been at it for over twenty years building ad hoc minisites[1]--sites so far down the long tail, that if forced to choose, they may be more prone to pull the plug than to maintain.
