Extensively editing your reply after people reply to it creates a discussion 
that's essentially impossible to follow. If you want to raise new points, and 
in the interest of maintaining the public record of our discussions, I'd 
appreciate a separate reply. Editing should be for making small corrections or 
minor additions, not completely re-drafting a response.

It's getting a bit tiresome pretending this RFC isn't in direct response to 
what's happened with Relax, as no concrete examples are being cited and the 
mysterious 'hypothetical' happens to coincide precisely with the Relax 
situation.

If the request on the Relax RFC was 'scrap this entirely, rewrite it some other 
way', I'd have absolute sympathy. But let's recall what was _actually_ 
requested on that RFC:
- Explanation of why the technical approach taken we chosen
- Roadmap of features that were going to implemented (not explicit timelines)
- Roadmap of how someone currently using Relay could migrate to Relax

These were questions asked in good faith by an organisation that actually 
_wanted to migrate to Relax_, so it's unbelievable to me how they were treated. 
I personally spent many many hours of my own time trying to find a resolution 
to that RFC so that Relax could progress. And what I concluded was that 
positive, constructive and polite engagement would have entirely avoided the 
situation we're now in, it's completely unrelated to process. If we really want 
to improve our community, we should all reflect on how that RFC (and the 
following vote) was handled and what lessons were learnt.

I'm concerned that instead of being genuinely interested in improving the 
contribution lifecycle in TVM (an issue I care about and am very interested 
in), this RFC is instead just about amending the rules to override a specific 
veto. Could you reaffirm you're original commitment that this new process will 
not apply retroactively, including to Relax?
