Sure, but what's the alternative? GLEP-39 was written precisely
because a more top-down system wasn't really working well.
The new model is much more bazar-like, with the Council as a forum for
appeal if things get out of hand.
If once in a while we have to deal with the fallout of something like
this I'll take that any day if it makes it more likely for the next
X32/Prefix/etc to take off on Gentoo.
