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).
