I share this concern, and it applies to future topics and discussions. I think you creating this RFC would be helpful, and that we as a group should respect the desired timeline for proposing this alternative RFC (I assume over the weekend?). We won't be forgetting this topic (it feels like people are panicking like we will) so if said alternative isn't available or doesn't gain traction then the current [adjusted] RFC should be implemented.
