I hope my comments here are responsive - good points all, Rob. The direct approach of DCRs is an important aspect of that process.

The requirements process at its best is a negotiation - we make a point of trying to clarify what a sumbitter is asking for. And if we, at the first vetting, think a request should be rejected as already provided or probably won't be done, we still ask if the submitter wants to press the issue.

That continues throughout the process - again, at its best. This can take more time, as well.

Hey, I love COMMON.  They do great work.  That being said, I once had a
requirement totally reworded to something not even close to what I asked.
Confusion?  Or part of someone else's desire to get work done on their pet
requirement, I don't know.  Granted, that was a couple of decades back.
I'm just not a big fan of middlemen.  Or let's say that some requirements
committee says that DB2 parity is not quite as high a priority as numerous
other items and puts your requirement way down on the bottom.  I may agree
with them but you may not.

I guess the value of COMMON helps if they put your requirement at the top.
