We have two suggestions on the table:
1) Rename RFCs to PCRs. (Perl Change Requests).
2) Add a Status: metainfo field.
I don't want votes on them yet, I want to make sure they're viable
and sensible changes. My thoughts:
1) I'm loathe to make unnecessary changes. RFCs are requests for
comment. I understand the confusion between the Internet RFCs
which are nominally standards, but these are Perl RFCs not
Internet RFCs. Is this really such a big deal that we need to
invalidate everything we've already written that mentions "RFC"?
2) Who is going to decide the status? I picture a working group
chair saying "ok, time to nail this RFC down" and handing it
off to a working group. When they return, is that the end of it?
I don't want, and I guess nobody wants, indefinite ongoing
blather about a topic.
Comments?
