You have to determine the status, but that shouldn't be scary,
considering these RFCs are ultimately just recommendations for
Larry's consideration.  Since the broad concensus seems to have
been that inline comments might be very useful, and not breaking
anything else, the status could be "Good". 

On this particular RFC, you probably want to summarize all the
alternatives suggested, along with the pros and cons of each.

You can ignore the ideas that no one seemed to like (if any).
