Why run a FCP on something already done?

We were very torn on this:

  • We could close it, because the RFC isn’t technically needed anymore, but that feels and looks bad
  • We could merge it immediately without an FCP, but this doesn’t set a great precedent, because all other RFCs had to go through an FCP, as is required by the RFC process.
  • We could call FCP and merge it once over. This is fairly pointless, but seemed like the least bad option. There’s also no hurry really, there’s no extra benefit from merging it earlier.

I like the symbolism of giving @AndersonTorres an RFC merge. :slight_smile: I am glad people were interested in this. I am glad, when outside contribution doing the work was stalled, we ended up taking it on ourselves on the Nix team. It was a slow process, but one with the happy ending, and the purpose merged RFC gives credit to the community interest that kicked the process off.
