Definitely not blinding accepting - the feature would have to go through
the Feature Wrangler as for now and then it should be announced in public
way. So the Feature is not blindly accepted as many Features on FESCo
meeting to get rid of a queue of unapproved ones and even it gets
better visibility - so developers can interact with Feature owner and
in case of any issues - raise it to FESCo. And FESCo will have time to
actually work on it, not just +1-ing it.
