I think the basic concept sounds useful, since it may
make proposals more concrete and discussions better
focused, and it preserves a history of the decisions
made. Of course, there still may be devils in the
details.

My first question is: is this intended for changes to
Erlang, or to Erlang/OTP? Given that the ultimate
acceptance decision seems to taken by OTP, it seems
like we're really talking about Erlang/OTP?
(Alternatively, that the two are basically the same.
This issue is a bit unclear at present.)

And, second question, will OTP henceforth primarily
use this process to introduce changes to the language?

Best,
Thomas
