Yeah, agreed.  As I responded, it has more to do with working in
environments where security always needed to be answered (regardless of
triviality).  "None" wasn't acceptable.  The template to my reading didn't
really guide in this regard.  I may have missed something though.

I'm not asking for 100% consistency.  I'm just raising it since it seems
to be early in the process change and want to work out these kinds of
things.  If it turns out to be an outlier then great.

Perhaps a better way for me to say it, is we should be on the lookout
given the process is new for consistency concerns.  It's probably too
idealistic, but I would rather have a 1-3 spec review cycle rather
especially for the smaller features.  That's my main concern with having
some consistency moving forward.  That's also on the developer side.  If
they have the tools to generate the spec correct the first go-around it
helps everyone.

Sure, but I also take -1s seriously and try to address them as best I can.
 Even if they are purely-opinion.
