I've updated the RFC with a fresh patch that doesn't involve SPL at
all and attempted to incorporate some of the questions and answers so
far into the RFC. I've also added a section for concerns with the RFC;
I've attempted to distil the concerns I've seen so far, but please
feel free to edit that list if specific concerns are misrepresented or
unrepresented.
