Nix RFCs

The formal workflow from Draft to Merged ensures thorough design review and consensus, as detailed in the process diagram and lifecycle states, preventing hasty changes.

Each RFC is guided by a team of 3-4 community experts appointed by the Steering Committee, providing balanced decision-making and facilitating constructive discussion, as specified in the terminology.

With defined states like Final Comment Period and clear handling for inactive proposals, the lifecycle is openly documented, reducing ambiguity and fostering accountability.

RFCs serve as snapshots of decisions at a point in time, similar to Matrix Spec Proposals, preserving context for future reference rather than as permanent specifications.
