RFC must maintain consistency across existing features/specifications, IMHO. We already have too many inconsistencies and scattered RFCs will make things worse certainly. Making patch and/or RFC simple is not the reason why we have RFC, but to have full featured/discussed/consistent changes to PHP. Aren't we better to have consistent/complete RFCs almost always?
