Description

Currently, APIView will automatically copy an approval if a new APIView is created that 1) has the same API surface area and 2) that surface area has been approved.

One ramification of this, is that approving an alpha or beta API will _automatically_ copy an approval to a GA release. There are concerns amongst the architects that this behavior is not desired.
