Hi Tim, Thank you for all your help, patience, and guidance throughout this process, especially as a first-time RFC author. And I really appreciate you going to bat for this RFC in the thread---thanks again. I do intend to try to get this into 8.6. Here's the schedule I'm planning: - Intent to vote: within the next day or so - Open voting: Monday July 28th ~04:30 UTC - Voting closes: Monday August 11th ~04:30 UTC If the vote passes, what's the process for getting the PR merged? Best, Caleb
