Hi! The way I see it, we can't employ the voting part of this RFC unless we can agree on rules on how this voting works; It's fine that we don't decide exactly how we're going to do it. But then, it means that we don't get to do it until we do decide. Well, we'd have to vote somehow, e.g. on

Hi! Honestly there are other parts about the voting process that are much hotter potatoes than the points I brought up - such as who gets to vote, is 50%+1 enough or do we need stronger majorities for substantial language changes (67%/75%), can someone who failed passing an RFC just put it up fo

I'm fine if the entire 'Feature selection and development' part goes out of the RFC, but if there's any reference to how features are determined, we'd better get it right. Making changes once we've approved this RFC is going to be much tougher. This is big stuff - it's no coincidence we didn't

Pierre, I'm happy that we agree pretty much completely about the clarifications & updates needed for the RFC. I do however want to point out that the problematic way the short array syntax RFC was executed was the key reason that made me feel these updates were in fact necessary - I don't thin
