Maybe that part of the problem.

The PC afaics said that they don't want to enforce stuff. Thus FESCo
sometimes hit problems, had to move them over to PC for solving them in
the guidlines. The PC then had to move the issue back to FESCO to
actually enforce what the PC decided. That was fine when we had Core and
Extras, but soon it will be to much overhead for no real gain.
