I don't see any road blocks here. A proper proposal, CG discussion, etc. is all a necessary part of the process. Thus far, the Conary evaluation and/or evaluation has chosen a seemingly arbitrary path. Admittedly, the path that projects should take is poorly defined for some CGs. In this case, I believe the primary issue is that the related project has not effectively sought guidance from their sponsoring CGs.
