It's been 2 weeks since the last discussion took place. I think the RFC is ready. We're arriving at the holiday period, which is why I'm not starting the vote soon. I plan to start the vote in January, after the holiday period. In the meantime, if you have any feedback on the RFC, please let me know! — Alexandre Daubois
