Hey Steve, From my side, I think what you're proposing is sane so I'd be +1 on leaving it up to the release team's decision. But looking at the new flavour process (the one in the works), I think we still need to make sure we assess the type of the image that the given flavor is adding and make sure that it's still in-line with the flavor that the TB approved. The TB is responsible for making sure that the flavour, and its images, are in line with the goals of the Ubuntu project. I don't think it's needed to reaffirm this in every case when a new image is to be added, but the release team needs to make sure to cycle back to the TB in case there's doubts that this is still the case.
