Hi all,
The RPC agrees and has added this experiment to its GitHub roadmap:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rpc/wiki/doku.php?id=rpc_github_roadmap
We plan to start accepting documents for this in a few weeks. We will be
asking authors if they want to participate via our intake form when
their documents enter the queue.
Best regards,
Jean

It seems like we're deep enough in "it MIGHT be a problem" territory
here that we should just run the experiment, see if there's a
problem, and if there is, fix it.

Hi Eric,

I'm struggling to understand the concern here, given that the
current approved email flow involves the editors sending
text in OLD/NEW format, which is essentially what GitHub
suggestions are. There's no ambiguity about the desired
new state and if they are committed it's trivial to see what
changed.
That's not ENTIRELY the case (so to speak). Sometimes there
are some global changes with cassification, spelling and
such, requiring rebasing, etc.
Are you talking about cases in which the RPC made some change
that the author wants reversed globally? Yes, I agree that in that
case you wouldn't use suggestions. But you also wouldn't attach
a PR update, you would tell the RPC in text to reverse it.
I don't see why this would require a rebase, though.
I'm *fully confident* the RPC is up to managing that, btw, in
terms of finding the best work flow (like maybe ordering PR
processing). And I don't want to make a mountain out of a
mole hill, but there will probably be times when
```suggestion doesn't QUITE cut it, and we shouldn't rely on
it as the only means for changes.
Nor am I suggesting that.

Eliot
