And that's what I am concerned about. Once we start assuming the RFC
process is not for solving technical questions for everything, we get
into this kind of rule lawyering and nitpicking into the texts which
never were intended to be able to serve as something that can work while
being base for rule-lawyering and nitpicking. It's not a constitution
(not that lawyers don't find all kinds of things all the time there that
were never written there either) and the fact that voting RFC or
whatever document is on wiki now does or does not have certain words in
there does not have any sacred meaning, because it wasn't even meant for
that. These are utilitarian documents which were written for specific
purposes, and should be understood within that context. And if they do
not match what we want to do now, they can and should be changed.
