Hi, Peter. The proposal lists ideas that were discussed already on IA2 list or mozilla bugzilla. In other words everything you see in proposal was suggested by someone from the IA2 group, has motivation and had discussion. Many API changes are supposed to replace existing IA2 methods, in this sense it's not really API growing but natural process of API evolution.
All I tried to do by bringing color notation is to help group members to read proposal and focus on disputed ideas. So that green color doesn't mean the API change will be in spec, but supposed to specify there's no active discussion and no concerns have been told. In general I'm not sure how proposal acceptance happens since it sounds like IA2 group doesn't have mechanism of vouching. But that's what I guess Pete will handle. I hope this makes sense. Thank you. Alex. On Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 2:41 PM, Peter Korn <peter.k...@oracle.com> wrote: > Alex, > > Green suggests it should be done?
