"All except a couple" is too many, and the couple that was exempted
was rather arbitrary, as the discussion has shown.  So I'd rather we
added attributes to the list of those we reset one by one, and only
after careful consideration.

Right now, I'm not even sure resetting the weight if it's value is
'medium' will solve Amin's problem, because Amin didn't respond.  Once
it says his problem is solved by that, I think we should reset only
the 'medium' weight, and see whether this causes problems elsewhere.
