Maybe I still misunderstand, but what this email says is instead of
FESCo, an educated group of people deciding on features that can be
extremely technical, they have no business either making even a
recommendation and marketing is now handling this?

I took my meeting with FESCo very seriously and I actually got some
tough questions that actually made me question myself for a second. I
don't know I'd get these type of questions from marketing.

I'm confused.
