Of course it is subjective, like good code style and bunch of other
things we review for. If it's hard to know, guess, it doesn't hurt
either way - an unnecessary spec that is really simple should get
approved quickly enough, and if you need a spec but haven't done one
then somebody will ask for one soon enough.

Launchpad has proven terrible for this, which is a strong driver for
the spec process in the first place
