I was very confused yesterday about the current RFC process. The last time I made an RFC it was an issue on this repo so I assumed that was still the way. Then I found in the root README of this project a link to create an issue so I clicked it. I expected to see an issue template populate but it didn't so then I was confused. I asked on Slack here:
And the hive mind steered me towards re-creating the template. This was incorrect.
The next day my pal @lidimayra noticed my mistakes and confusion and linked me to the playbook and the RFC where we changed course - RFCs should be authored as markdown files in the /RFCs folder and then a PR should be opened to discuss them. I had completely missed this development!
So then I thought the right thing to do would be to come back to this repo and cleanup things that caused me confusion to hopefully save the next person from making my same mistakes.
remove the issue template that I added yesterday
update the root README to point people to the playbook
update the README in the /RFCs in the same way
relocate the templates to the /RFCs folder so that everything is in one place
update the playbook
I think this is better and should result in less confusion but it's probably not perfect - what did I miss?
