I am looking for folks to assist me in creating a DIP for that.
There will be a _lot_ of work involved, so don't take it

Andrei is asking others to write a DIP to formalize a decision

There's not even an attempt made to pretend there's symmetry.
The only way for Manu (and basically anyone else) to propose a
change is to write a DIP. Andrei won't even participate in
discussions without a DIP. That's probably a good idea. What's
not a good idea is to make unilateral decisions about major
breaking changes, posting in the forum, and then asking others
to write the DIP. That's corporate software development, and
it's very discouraging to potential contributors.
I think you are plain wrong on this: the 'P' in a DIP stands for
Proposal, so any decision is not taken yet. And I'll bet:
- Andrei will be the main author or he will partecipate in the
writing.
- the DIP will follow the usual proceeding, exactly like the
others.
