In that case, can I suggest posting such things as [wip]
(work-in-progress). That way it's clear that the change is intended as
a discussion point, and not a final waiting-on-approval patch. It
unfortunatly comes across as very strange when someone posts what looks
like the final [rfa] for for a specific variant of a change when the
related technical discussion has not been resolved.
enjoy,
Andrew
