#44 not all System Wide Changes really need releng review
Closed by bcotton. Opened by petersen.

Closed
Reopen Issue

Well this is just a suggestion/idea at this point, but it seems to me there are plenty of Fedora System Wide Changes that don't actually need rel-eng review, but currently it is a stipulated requirement for all System Wide Changes.

Perhaps it would make sense to make releng tickets discretionary or optional instead (ie if any of the possible conditions listed in the Change template apply, a ticket should be opened of course: this also applies to Self Contained Changes obviously), but then if there is no releng ticket and FeSCo feels one is needed, they could request the Change owners to open one. This way could potentially save some of the unnecessary reviewing of needless tickets by releng, but of course at the end of the day of it is up to RelEng and FeSCo to agree on this: the requirement was put place for reasons presumably.

So... probably proposing this on devel list etc first, would make sense...
Maybe this ticket can be open here until such discussions have happened?

Closing this ticket, since the issue at hand is a FESCo policy. You'll need to take it up with them. If FESCo changes the policy, then it would be appropriate to open a ticket or PR here.

For historical context, we used to require all changes to have a releng ticket. At some point a few years ago, I made the case to only require it for System Wide Changes. Making it entirely optional is a reasonable next step, although I'm not sure if I agree with it or not.
