I'm arguing from the perspective that the approval must come
first, and the piloting second. Who would want to develop a
module in the "pre-pilot" phase, without having any idea of
whether they were developing it finally for phobos or just
3rd-party use, then wait months or years to find out if the
leadership is even *interested* in what they're doing? Why
would people try to meet high standards without knowing if
those standards are actually going to be required or not? It's
like an unpaid internship: "Work for us for free, and we'll let
you know at the end whether we want your work or not."
Al least the module will be available in draft namespace until
controversy is resolved. I don't think there would be any
blocking campaign without providing sane requirements to move on.
BTW. I tried to publish the DIP but got into the following issue:

It looks the DIP will be delayed at least by day.
