Specification review is a far cry from code review. Specification review is
really about direction / impact. Operator imput on specifications can be
extremely valuable (e.g. "This doesn't meet any of our needs, but it's
close. Here are some suggestions to make it meet more needs/closer to
real-world").
It is one of the ways operators can be involved and get ATC status. It may
not be the only way that operators should be involved.
