Potential for low awareness around core app removals
According to the review procedures, reviews have to be done by 1 member of the release team and 1 member of the design team. A final decision is then made by the release team.
It might be unlikely to happen in practice, but there's nothing in the procedure to stop a small number of people from removing apps without the wider community being aware of it.
It might just be a matter of saying that:
- Contributors to the app ought to be consulted
- Relevant teams should be consulted
- An announcement should be made once the decision is made
Apologies if I missed anything in the procedures...
