 Collection inclusion requests workflow
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
 When reviewing community collection `inclusion requests <https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible-inclusion/discussions>`_, the Committee members check if a collection adheres to the :ref:`collections_requirements`.
 
+.. note::
+
+  The Steering Committee can reject a collection inclusion request or exclude a collection from the Ansible package even when the collection satisfies the requirements if the Steering Committee agrees that presence of the collection will significantly deteriorate the Ansible package user experience or the package build process. In case of rejection/removal, the collection maintainers receive comprehensive feedback from the Committee explaining the reasons of starting the process. In case the reasons are fixable, the feedback will contain information what the maintainers need to change.
+
 #. A Committee member who conducts the inclusion review copies the `Ansible community collection checklist <https://github.com/ansible-collections/overview/blob/main/collection_checklist.md>`_ into a corresponding `discussion <https://github.com/ansible-collections/ansible-inclusion/discussions>`_.
 
 #. In the course of the review, the Committee member marks items as completed or leaves a comment saying whether the reviewer expects an issue to be addressed or whether it is optional (for example, it could be **MUST FIX:** <what> or **SHOULD FIX:** <what> under an item).
