Checks and balances are actually quite important - even if we're not
always the biggest fans of them - especially for existing shipping
distributions. I'm a big fan of letting whatever happen before you ship,
then locking it down and making it tough to screw over systems that are
not explicitly asking to be affected by a major upgrade, etc.

There's also the "if you build it..." argument. I think if it's actually
necessary to get these ACKs then they will happen. And in the worst
case, you probably just need to email this list/IRC/etc.
