I do appreciate what you're saying, but: * The majority of the delay is actually imposed by Council not voting in time. That is avoidable delay. * Council voting to deprecate seems like something we should ensure is done with feedback from the community. The practical way we do this for other cases is a note to the list with a bit of warning. I don't think this is process for the sake of process. * Council this session have completed votes on 20 items (with three expiries, incidentally), and have a further 5 in progress. I don't see evidence that we're not getting anything done. * I don't know what process we have that is "too much". Please do suggest bits we can get rid of. This all said, we have three deprecations to vote on today - XEP-0071 I feel I know what the community feeling is, XEP-0137 is mopping-up the remains of SI, and I'm not concerned about this. Perhaps I'm overly aware that I haven't much of an idea about XEP-0013's usage.
