In any case, I feel like it should be final as it is currently and doesn't affect my RFC. If this RFC passes, it only changes a bit of the language in my RFC and removes a secondary vote. In any case, I haven't seen any emails of people flipping tables (like some proposals out there) to my RFC announcement, so I suspect it isn't a terrible idea and might actually have some merit; but I'm not going to get my hopes up. I rather suspect people are just ignoring it and will vote "decline" out-of-hand without thinking about it. — Rob
