All, I tend to agree with the thought that dropping first drafts into the Feedback folder rather than the Drafts folder isn't very intuitive.
But more importantly, when I joined the team earlier in the year, I really struggled to understand the in-use workflow because it didn't match the documented workflow (i.e. Jean's diagram). I think this is a really important consideration with regards to transparency of our procedures. I would be in favour of reverting to the previously established and documented workflow, especially if it wasn't really broken in the first place.
