Especially if this particular spin is asking for significant deviation
from our standard config (something I'm unclear about -- see Spins list
discussion). In that case, this definitely should be considered as
system-wide.
On this particular procedural point, I think _all_ spins should be considered system-wide
due to the required involvement of rel-eng, council and others; they are by no means
“self-contained” in the sense that nobody else needs to help with getting them done.
And generally I agree with the concern raised on the spins list
(
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/spins/2015-May/004222.html and following) that
the spin description can, at least by a quick read without reading the actual kickstart,
likely to be misunderstood to deliver more than it actually does. For example, just
including a tor package by no means guarantees privacy (e.g. it does nothing about all the
ways Fedora leaks information about being Fedora).
