One can attach pull or write an RFC based on it.

These channels are not exclusive. In fact, bugs site is the only permanent record for non-RFC requests, and for RFC ones, sometimes significant time passes between idea showing up and RFC being ready, and in that time, we won't have any record of anybody needing this. > What do you think ? I don't think disabling FRs is good. Screening them and noting that some of them will need RFCs to be implemented is good. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
