Slightly, but that's probably good.

Requirements proposal bot changes had to first be Approved on the
corresponding requirements stable branch, so that should be both safe,
and mandatory to go in.

I agree that it would be nicer to have more justification in there.
There is the beginning of the patch up to do something a bit better here
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/145932/ - though it could use to be
improved.
