The proposed life cycle of block is rather:
* You get a cool new idea and create a contributed block.
* After a while it might have happened that a number of other developers
also have become interested in the block and have started to contribute.
At this point someone starts a vote about that the block should become a
supported block, and people agree.
* After some years it might happen that new technology or something else
makes the block less relevant and someone start a vote about deprecating
it.
The lifecycle was agreed for the community, the point is if a directory
structure is the best to implement it. Other people (me included) think it
can be implemented using the metadata file that all in all every block
will have.
Everything can be done in numerous ways.
The directory structure is easy to understand, it is what we have discussed at the list for quite a while, it is what Reinhard actually have implemented and above all it moves us forward.
There should of course be a metadata file for the block as well and documentation generated from that. But AFAIK no one have started to work on any such documentation functinonallity. So for the moment I think we should focus on the *important* question:
Which blocks do we support?
