I caught a junior trying to reimplement an existing feature, poorly, in a way that would have affected every other consumer of the software I'm a code owner on a week or two ago. There's good reason to keep them around.

PRs suck to do, but having a rotating team of owners helps, and linting + auto formatting helps with a lot of the ticky tacky stuff.

Honestly, the worst part is "newGuy has requested your review on a PR you requested changes on but he hasn't addressed" that'll get you in the ignored pile real quick.
