Hi, My personal impression is that the feedback loop between RFC authors and voters seems a bit vague. Should the no-vote be split into "Yes, but not like this", and "No, never"? Or maybe add a reason for the no-vote? Like, too complex implementation, or weak use-case. I don't know. Guessing should be reduced to a minimum, as should be wasted effort. I also believe the structure of the RFC itself could be more disciplined, and collect pros and cons more clearly. Not this particular RFC, but in general. I assume there's a scaffold being used?
