Instead, board can pass a recommendation to consider it. Discuss it with the involved people if necessary. Maintainers can always take decisions. The purpose of the board is to consider decisions for Fedora on the whole instead of every maintainer of every browser in Fedora doing it as per their choice. It isn't about asking for permission really. It is about having a place to decide project wide things that aren't within FESCo's domain. As far as setting precedent, the board has made decisions which have turned out to be unpopular ( ex: codec buddy ). I rather have a board that makes decisions even if they are wrong at times rather than one afraid to be decisive at all.
