The actual proposal of this RFC has been unchanged since the middle of November and the last meaningful change to the RFC text was made in the middle of December to improve the explanation.
While the discussion in the related “comparison thread” by Rowan still has been active before the holiday break (with one reply of mine after the break), it was only discussing fundamental syntax (and semantic) choices, which we do not plan to change at this point. Both because Seifeddine and I are confident in the design of the RFC and because changing them would be equivalent to a full rewrite of the RFC (which would be more appropriate as a new v2 RFC).
Even though we ultimately disagreed, we would like to thank Rowan in particular for the insightful discussion that provided valuable help to further refine and clarify the RFC text, hopefully helping folks make an informed decision.
We therefore plan to open voting later this week, unless someone speaks up pointing out a major oversight or any other meaningful concerns we all missed.
Best regards Tim Düsterhus
