Chicken and egg. We cannot get a contract unless we restrict the
scope enough to make it fundable. An ideal solution usually has a larger
scope but there is no one interested in shelling out that much money
(the ideal solution being to have a multi-renderer rendering system).

Imho any feedback is good, but any scope enlarging feedback should
be backed with a promise to put it the difference from whoever
is asking the expansion. To be more direct, it's about putting money
where the mouth is.

The alternative is to vote down the GSIP because it's crappy, badly
conceived of badly designed. Or to ask for changes enough to make
it go sideways instead of affecting the core, for example adding
an extension point that allows the new functionality to be plugged in.
For example, in this case it's also possible to make whole decorations
block an extension, and have the WMS expose a rendering post
processing extension point (here is the graphics and the wms request,
do what you want with it).

Cheers
