I think this additional constraint is putting the dependency in the wrong direction.

JEP is for something that is big enough, risky enough, or visible enough. Many things that are big enough or risky enough ALSO merit work outside of the mainline, but that’s not what makes them JEP-worthy; it’s the size / risk / visibility. The relationship is correlative, not causative.

Agreed.
