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.
