its a request for comments, where people can suggest changes. And its primarely
intended for the roots managing svn/git/MLs alot of that doesnt make sense to
roundup.
Besides attila who is root personally asked me to write this list.

and iam offended by you and others vaguly pointing toward me abusing power
but every time i ask about details people running away and not awnsering.
So what did i do wrong?
Or what in that RFC list is inappropriate, you know this is a RFC that can be
changed.

its also largely what we did since years in the projects. So where is the
problem this suggestion would correct?
(i see some quite severe ambiguities in that suggestion)

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give
it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For
even the very wise cannot see all ends. -- Gandalf
