This idea is both important and more general. If we go thru a huge
discussion of, say, multi-line comments and decide *not* to do it,
we don't want to have the whole thing repeated with perl 6.1, 7.0,
etc, etc. When something reaches RFC stage but is rejected, part of
the process should include archiving the gist of the arguements for
and against. IMHO the RFC editor should be responsible for this.
