+### Description
+
+Describe the goal of this PR, what problem are you fixing. If there is a 
corresponding issue (referenced above), it's

one summary sentence.

+### Design
+
+Please describe any design decisions made, including:
+ - Choice of algorithms
+ - Behavioral aspects. What configuration values are acceptable? How are 
corner cases and error conditions handled, such
+   as when insufficient resources are available?
+ - Class organization and design (how the logic is split between classes, 
inheritance, composition, design patterns)
+ - Method organization and design (how the logic is split between methods, 
parameters and return types)
+ - Naming (class, method, API, configuration, HTTP endpoint, names of emitted 
metrics)
+
+In addition, describe _at least one_ alternative design (or mention 
alternative name) for every design (or naming)
 
 Review comment:
   Always considering alternative designs is a good ideal, but in practice, If 
we had a hard requirement for the "describe alternatives" rule, I would expect 
many PRs to have empty fluff in that section or people just describing some 
awful alternative implementation to check off the requirement, I expect it 
would often not bring any real value if forced. 
   
   If the PR submitter shares in the spirit behind this rule, they would likely 
do if it's optional. If they don't, they'll ignore it or game the system even 
if it's a requirement.
   
   If I saw an otherwise good PR that lacked this section, I would personally 
not be willing to reject it on that basis alone.
   
   So I would agree with making this optional.
