Hi Tim, Thanks for taking the time to reply. That said, I would like to address a concern, not about the content of your message, but the timing. On multiple RFCs, you've joined in once the discussions has wound down and a vote is immeninent. At this point, many participants have assumed the key issues are raised and addressed; or at least, reached the point of constructive impasse. Reopening settled threads so close to vote tends to disrupt the process. It forces others to revisit old arguments under time pressure, giving the late comments disproportionate visibility, and risks stalling momentum. I understand that threads move quickly and schedules vary, but if a concern is important enough to raise, it really helps to do so while the discussions are actively evolving. Otherwise, it becomes difficult to engage meaningfully. At a certain point, late feedback stops being helpful and starts to erode the trust and rhythm of the process. — Rob
