This split between SW and SC was artificial since the beginning and I'd
be happy if we dropped it.
Well, sure, it's a process we made up. In that sense, _everything_ is
artificial when you get right down to it.
The difference really is supposed to be that self-contained changes are
"FYI" advertisements to the rest of the community and valuable for release
notes, talking points, and other docs -- they don't really need approval
(except when they actually exceed that scope). System-wide changes need
coordination and greater communication, which is why they are supposed to be
earlier.
We could make self-contained changes due earlier and go through the same
greater review process, but then we're gonna get a lot more "ugh Fedora is
so process-heavy and bureaucratic" and people just not doing it at all.
