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.
The question whether Spins need to be System-wide or Self-contained Changes has been
raised on the last FESCo meeting and the conclusion was to have Spins as Self-contained.
However every request for a Spin goes to FESCo for a review. So, FESCo has the opportunity
to turn a specific Spin requests to a System-wide change if they consider so.

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).
