My interpretation was that the feature freeze would happen on March 15 (that afterwards no new RFCs would be accepted). I made the decision to target 7.next/8 based on the assumption that the competing RFC would not be able to fairly target 7.0. If you are saying that's not the issue, then I'll happily re-target this RFC for 7.0 again. I just didn't want to be seen as (or actually do) pushing based on a timing advantage that your proposal couldn't possibly meet. So if you're fine with it (which it seems you are), I'll re-target the RFC now. Thanks Anthony
