I share your concern, to an extent, and I understand the motivation behind the change too. Briefly, the motivation stems from the fact that many tickets *are* completely non-controversial and we don't gain anything by waiting for a FESCo meeting, and neither do we get anything by discussing in during the meeting. But I feel that discussion is important, and during free discussion additional questions or doubts might be raised that would not appear in the more formal setting of a ticket. Thus, I plan to set the 'meeting' tag on all non-trivial tickets, as in [1]. Let's give it a try, maybe this will result in a slightly more efficient FESCo (even though I think it was pretty good in this regard already).
