This sounds a lot like:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salami_tactics
to me, a common strategy used by construction companies to subvert 
environmental rules, obviously frowned upon. You are trying to submit small 
innocous-sounding changes in an attempt to sneak in your plan to completely 
subvert Fedora while minimizing opposition.

I really hope that FESCo will evaluate the above complete plan when 
considering your change proposal, not just the thin salami slice that you 
submitted.
