That is exactly what the backlog is supposed to be.

"These specifications have the problem description completed, but all other
sections are optional."

From:

http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/backlog/

As I am sure there is room for improvement, why not propose a change to the
specs repo to improve the backlog spec process?

each possible solution is the best and only way to solve the problem. That
should be up to each and every project how this will be (or even if it
should be) implemented. How important it will be for them to implement this
feature and what priority this should receive. A developer then picks up
the request and turns it into a proper blueprint with proper actionable
items.

idea of making this a way for all of the OpenStack projects to allow them
to collect actual feedback in a simple way.
