Should we amend the process to formalize this?
How about:
“A reviewer or architect can decide to grant a track request waiving the waiting period and without additional votes in the following case: if the request is for a snap which has already had tracks created, and for which the new request is consistent with previous ones for the same snap in semantics and cadence. The reviewer should reply in the request’s post explaining his rationale for waiving votes/wait period such as ‘granting request for track 1.11 since the snap has existing tracks and the new request conforms to the previous ones’”.
