There's a bit of a Catch-22 there: voters want to know all the edge-cases
before they approve an RFC; but developers want to know the RFC will be
approved before they spend hours refining a patch. In some ways, it would
be good to have two votes: one on the principle, and one on the detailed
implementation; but that could make the process feel quite long and
bureaucratic.
