@mbaret I want to apologize about my wording. Indeed constructive conversation 
is important -- that is why we are having this conversation for about several 
months now.  I would like to point out the importance of unbundling -- i 
removed my wording on dragging. 

I do would like to point out the language barrier factor, the needs to empower 
our community members, and so.

There is no intention to indicate that that those who speaks against the RFC as 
"anti-community", I want to apologize if the text was interpreted in that way. 
Instead, we summarizes the case there is a disagreement on hows, and 
disagreement on how usually are addressed through procedural approaches.

> Firstly, there aren't many community members even present commenting here

We have observed at least community contributors from more than eight 
organizations supporting the proposal in this RFC and the original 
[thread](https://discuss.tvm.apache.org/t/process-rfc-empowering-new-scoped-module-to-the-project/13617/29).
 It is very rare to see vocal support of such proposals 

I agree with you on multiple personas. And i would like to remind us that every 
one of us are wearing multiple hats. I personally contribute to features, 
maintain the modules, fixing tests. 

It is unfair to simply categorize a S0 proposer as "feature developers". Many 
of them are maintainers of the modules, fixing bugs more often. Additionally, 
S0 as being defined only have to do with its "scope of impact". There is 
nothing to do with the reach-ness to the users, or whether people needs them.

Imagine a case when a module is being needed by more than eight organizations 
-- many of them are industry players, but not all other members. Will we count 
that module as "need to be hidden from the majority of users"? Of course not, 
we should present these modules to the user. A module that have limited scope 
of impact, while benefit a lot users is a great thing. The factor of inclusion 
should consider, testing, maintenance, documentations and others as being 
listed in the proposal. 

 
> However, the S1 and S2 mechanisms would be of enormous value to maintainers

There is no question that these are important and we should do them as well in 
other conversations.

We all contribute in different means, some of them are code, some of them 
project management, directions. Apache principle means that we encourage 
volunteer contributions where our contribution past or recent are equally 
valued. I would value that our PMC members places the best interest  in mind in 
having such conversations.

Additionally, empowering and bringing people along means we will have more 
active contributors in the community overall.
