Furthermore, I find it hypocritical that some of us are put through a disproportionately burdensome DIP process requiring thorough documentation, multiple peer reviews, excessive delays, and judgement that defaults to "no" for some of the most minute changes to the language, but a game-changing feature like DIP 1000 can just be amended on a whim.
DIP 1000 is in a bit of limbo at the moment. When I took over the process from Mihails, he told me it was stalled and that the proposal did not match the implementation. So I haven't touched it, which is why it's still marked as Draft. At some point, Walter will revise it to match the implementation and then we'll discuss how to handle it.
Whatever the status of DIP 1000, I would point out that that one of Walter's DIPs is in Community Review right now after sitting in the PR queue in Draft Review for a while. Once this review stage is done, it will go back into the queue to await Final Review like any other DIP. The only difference between this and other DIPs is that there will be no Formal Assessment for it. And this is the second DIP from Walter that has gone through the process since I've come on board, with DIP 1008 being put on pause at his request.
