I don't think these final two items belong in the RFC; in the best of
all possible worlds, this wouldn't even be discussed at the time an RFC
is created. I feel that an RFC should list issues to be considered in
implementing a solution, such as scalability and security.
I also think that a justification for the proposed change should be
part of the RFC.
