This might be appropriate for a small change prior to requesting an FC
extension, but someone responsible for a larger change will likely want
to request (and receive) an extension before finishing up all the work,
so I don't think we can mandate this for all requests.

I don't think this sort of case needs to be baked into the process.
If a Lead who has previously approved a request later sees that it's
grown dramatically in scope then they should contact the responsible
developer directly.  This may result in the issue being closed or
targeted to a later release.  Replacing the jdk9-fc-yes label with
jdk9-fc-no isn't really needed, but it wouldn't hurt.
