Walter provided feedback on Razvan's implementation. When it
reached a state with which he was satisfied, he gave the green
light for acceptance.
I think the process is flawed when not everyone plays by the
same rules.
From the process document:
“the DIP Manager or the Language Maintainers may allow for
exceptions which waive requirements or responsibilities at their
discretion.”
If you were to write a DIP for a feature they think important
enough, it could be fast tracked, too.
