OK, I've read what others have written, and want to throw in my own
0.00008316 BTC.

The spec process is invaluable, but that is not to say that it can't be
improved - a *lot*.

Other emails have touched on the biggest disconnect in the process: that
an approved spec magically becomes unapproved on a particular calendar
date. This makes no sense whatsoever. If it was a good idea yesterday,
it will almost always be a good idea tomorrow.

The other obvious disconnect is the gap between nova-core and
nova-spec-core. If someone is knowledgeable enough and trusted enough to
commit code to Nova, they should be trusted to approve a spec.

Those two changes aren't controversial, are they? If not, let's do them
ASAP, and then iterate from there.
