I recently sponsored a fast-track PSARC case whose timer has run out and so could be marked "approved, automatic". However, a question that was asked during the review period has caused the project team to re-consider whether or not their approach is correct. If they decide to not proceed as they originally intended, then I will withdraw the case, but if they had not kept me in the loop, I might have already set it to approved, and they might not have informed me that they are not going to implement. So, as I said an approved case says nothing about the actual implementation.
