Ack. <internal>Moreover for future changes I suggest that they should be
made directly on the main branch, we can revert them in case of

I'm kind of puzzled on this, since the definition of "no one needs to
read" is ambiguous. Does it imply that only DEPs in DRAFT and CANDIDATE
states are worth to be reading given that they are ongoing? Or it does
mean that only OBSOLETE DEPs are not worth to be reading? That's not
clear to me.
However this point raise an important suggestion to me: for DEPs to
which is applicable the "integration elsewhere" (e.g. policy/devref) we
should point in the ACCEPTED version of the DEPs to where it has been
integrated (e.g. policy chapter/section).

I think we should wait at least a week from the last relevant change to
the proposal before doing so, not everyone is reading daily -project. I
also plan to SPAM^Wblog on planet to gather future comments.
Cheers.
