Although some RDA enthusiasts have a marked tendency to ignore it, there is a scheduled feedback period, at least for the U.S. national libraries and their other test sites, and, technically speaking at least, adoption of RDA is not a done deal. It gets a little hard to remember that given things like the upcoming ALCTS forum regarding how libraries are preparing for RDA. The obligatory nod to an open process is too often forgotten.
