> TODO, XXX, or the like should not survive past the review stage

I'm afraid if you stick to this principle, you will never have any code ready for review. Using TODO is not an excuse for writing buggy code, but an indication of future improvements and optimizations.

It's a great rule if you want to get people to never write down whatever information would have been contained in their TODOs. Anywhere, probably. Best case it remains but just without the TODO label, so... congratulations? Or goes in an issue tracker with all the other junk-issues that no one ever looks at.
