The docs say the following:

The feedback was almost exclusively limited to two things (the new
draft addresses both):

* Blocks should be removed
* The RFC wasn't discussed extensively enough

My suggestion: I'll finish the draft and announce it in a few days.
This will make it easier to judge if enough changes were made. If not
I'll postpone the RFC for six months.
