I strongly feel that RFC1 as it currently exists in the CVS is not 
workable as a guidance document for the GRASS PSC, for reasons related to 
the composition of the GRASS PSC and the current decision-making process 
for GRASS development as I have previously posted to this list.
Hence I have already proposed a re-write of RFC1:
http://grass.itc.it/pipermail/grass-psc/2006-December/000168.html

Scott Mitchell proposed some changes that I am happy to go along with:
http://grass.itc.it/pipermail/grass-psc/2006-December/000170.html

Apart from that no other PSC members have provided feedback. I could 
interpret that as a positive sign, but that would be incredibly 
presumptuous on my part - thus I still await feedback. FWIW I would 
definitely *not* support adoption of RFC1 in its current form.
