I'm kind of puzzled on this, since the definition of "no one needs to read" is ambiguous. Does it imply that only DEPs in DRAFT and CANDIDATE states are worth to be reading given that they are ongoing? Or it does mean that only OBSOLETE DEPs are not worth to be reading? That's not clear to me. However this point raise an important suggestion to me: for DEPs to which is applicable the "integration elsewhere" (e.g. policy/devref) we should point in the ACCEPTED version of the DEPs to where it has been integrated (e.g. policy chapter/section). > I'm happy to see that so far there's been no opposition to DEP0.

I think we should wait at least a week from the last relevant change to the proposal before doing so, not everyone is reading daily -project. I also plan to SPAM^Wblog on planet to gather future comments. Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science ............... now what?
