Hi All, The majority of RFC's for CouchDB 4.x have gone stale and I want to know what everyone thinks we should do about it? Do you find the RFC's useful?
So far I've found maintaining the RFC's really difficult. Often we write an RFC, then write the code. The code often ends up quite different from how we thought it would when writing the RFC. Following that smaller code changes and improvements to a section moves the codebase even further from the RFC design. Do we keep updating the RFC for every change or should we leave it at a certain point? I've found the discussion emails to be really useful way to explore the high-level design of each new feature. I would probably prefer that we continue the discussion emails but don't do the RFC unless its a feature that a lot of people want to be involved in the design. Cheers Garren
