Seeing this quoted makes me realize I expressed myself poorly.  What I
meant to convey was:

When it comes to syntax changes, there's no such thing as too small of
a change to need an RFC.

Which I think most parsed out correctly, but I want to be clear on
that position.  Bugfix or not, a parser change is a parser change.
