I have historically always appreciated the two-company approval rule 
because it ensures each patch has been reviewed with at least two 
different and diverse company perspectives.

However I recognize that the situation has changed over time and we may 
not have the luxury any longer to ensure diverse company approvals. I do 
not wish to overburden the remaining non Red Hat cores with review 
requests for approvals.

So, given the evolved landscape, I am understanding and open to adapt 
our process to drop the two-company rule if there is such consensus in 
the rest of the team.
