I didn't claim that approval was needed.  I was trying to shed some light as to why some felt that there /should/ be approval.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here.  My whole point earlier is that cloud image creation is different than say a LiveCD compose, or just re-hosting the lived that we the project created and published.

There are also cases of 3rd parties getting it wrong.  I believe vmware has a current bug where their "easy install" template for Fedora will try to create a rather small /boot partition, one that is too small for the kernel install.  End result?  People thing Fedora is broken.

Call it paranoia, call it perfectionism, call it whatever you want.
