If we're talking about the same powers (I'm talking about Packaging  Guideline
approval) then I would be against giving that to SIGs for the same reasons
I gave in the Env and Stacks Meeting. Importance of precedence, importance
of big picture view of how it fits into Fedora and its policies.  SIGs come
up with what's expedient for them to package but that's not always the thing
that is going to make it easy for other packagers to get involved, end users
to use their packages, or advance Fedora's goals.

Not here, I'll continue to do that in the other part of the thread to not
get this tangent involved in it :-)
