That would be progress.

It would potentially mean a huge backlog of boring but basically uncontroversial technical legislation, most likely.

[DamnYuppie]

I'm inclined to agree, though I feel they're already pretty hands-off for most things that don't have corporate interest or overreaching power driving them.

That's assuming policies are made for the good of society, and not the good of the policy makers.

That could be a feature or a bug I suppose.
