Okay yes, I'm seeing the need for Release Engineering to keep tabs on
invasive and risky changes. But I think we need to keep in mind that
this and marketing are two similar but orthogonal problems, that
happen to have a very similar solution. Thus we end up with two
criteria:

1) The feature process is voluntary and optional.
2) Unless Release Engineering (not FESCo) deems a change is invasive
enough to threaten the release schedule.

Two problems, who's solution currently seems to be somewhat
indistinctly mashed together in one process. Perhaps this should be
clarified.
