Why? I'm not aware of any CAB like thing that rises much above
in-the-trenches engineers that actually have any idea what they're
approving.

Put it in the queue with the correct cover sheet and it'll probably get
approved, even if the change is to demolish the building, something
actually done by $FRIEND at $SEMI-GOVERNMENT-AGENCY to prove a point,
then he had to figure out how to not carry out a change (without
explaining what the change was) which turned out to be much harder.
