Essentially:
* If you propose a new feature, it is accepted and it requires some new
 dependency: go ahead
* If you want a new external dependency in an existing module: request
 approval or propose it as a new feature

Thanks Olav for making that clearer.  Maybe something for the FAQ?  This will eliminate discussions on libraries and external dependencies. 

This also seems to make things a lot easier.
 

The point is that we don't want new external dependencies. But if you
have a new feature, then make a choice propose it, and once accepted,
run with it. The goal is having a new feature, if you need something to
make the feature happen, use it. Further, this nicely avoids the cases
where external dependencies have been approved, but actually nothing
used it for various releases.

What about you want to use a new technology but you don't want any new features but rather using this new external dependency will simpifiy things and making maintainance easier?  I suppose that itself is the feature?  Easier maintenance?
