However, looking at the existing "policy", most of the things you want to change aren't actually in it - it doesn't even contain the word "beta". It also has parts that are obviously outdated ("Features can use branch(es) if necessary" - because the project was using SVN, where branches are costly to maintain), parts in the future tense, and even open questions (about who can vote for RMs). So maybe what's really needed is to draft a new copy of the policy document, updating or removing those parts that are no longer relevant, and adding a timeline for the pre-release phases? Or possibly there's a different document I should be looking at, and the RFC could contain proposed edits to that? Regards, -- Rowan Tommins [IMSoP]
