It's true the closure said there was no immediate change to AFC.  However, I
don't agree that maintaining lots of bot- and userscript-based Draft processes
is a key goal.  The key goal is to "simplify the process of submitting draft
articles" (as the closure put it).

Steven was clear in the RFC comments: "I think we should take an experimental
approach to this, objectively testing out how a new Drafts namespace should
work." and "I want to test asking new article creators if they want to start a
draft first before publishing to mainspace."

There is a lot of MW software development that is not specifically requested by
an RFC (including the original wiki software).  It's always going to be a back
and forth.
