Afternoon Rowan,

The sum of their parts amounts to a substantial change in the way we
conduct development here.

If we are going to make changes, we should not draw out the process, but
nor should we have too much haste in making these decisions.

Having a one week discussion period is some kind of compromise between a
big RFC, and doing one thing at a time.

Let us consider each issue on it's own, make good decisions on each issue,
with clear majorities.

Cheers
Joe
