Though I've never felt an obligation to make sure no loan goes unfunded, I thought you all might find this interesting.

Quote from: Jonathan, Kiva staffer, in the USA Loan discussion today, talking about the Popularity sort.
Depending on our internal business requirements, we may adjust them occasionally.  For example, after launching video features, we added the video factor to the popularity sort and bumped its weighting to give more exposure to the videos which we think are really cool.

So there you have it.  Not only CAN Kiva massage which loans show up on the first page or two, they actively DO.  So the fact that they don't goose the large, languishing, loans is a deliberate choice.
