Yes - and that frequently went wrong. That's precisely why we ditched
that process and came up with a better one, where the decision isn't
made on-the-fly by whoever happens to be reading the tickets in releng,
but is made according to an established process, by a sensible group of
stakeholders, with proper tracking and a paper trail.

Nothing gets blanket rejected. Each FE proposal is evaluated
individually on its merits.
