And I'm not sure we would have made some different decision even knowing how much work was going to be involved.

I'll tell you, the nice thing about it is you can also tune out for those ones that you know are going to go nowhere, which is how I've viewed the one on chat. So I've yet to read those hot comments, but now I'll go check them out. Please don't. Please don't.

I mean, it's great for depositions. Great for discovery.

Earlier on, Chad had a question about are these really requests for discussion or are they just things that have already been discussed and decided? And very much they are requests for discussion. They're ideas that often have one or a couple of people have seen them. and then we're casting it open to other folks.

And I think, Brian, one of the things you mentioned is often that discussion happens in the GitHub comments, but it doesn't always have to happen that way. As things are getting spicy or as things are not resolving, sometimes people have a meeting, sometimes people have it in a live chat. There are other ways of bringing discussion to determinations.

And there's not like one prescriptive method for doing that or for navigating a conversation or even for knowing the threshold for when, okay, it's time to move on. We've published the thing. We just kind of feel it out and do what feels right for each one.

Um, no, I agree there. I think there've been very few RFDs that really are trying to draw a very firm line that we then feel a decent tip. Like I think you're, you're spot on there that, that either we go back and we update it or we create a new RFD and say, uh, you know, this, this obsolete, it's this old RFD or our thinking on this has changed or the facts have changed in these ways.

And that's what, what changes these determinations. Um, But no, I think it's been purely valuable in terms of determination process and then hugely valuable for looking back historically and understanding, especially before we change some of these ideas, seeing that full discussion, really embracing that before we decide to go some other path.

One of my favorite efforts that Robert undertook was to build a whole graphical representation of the interlock of about a couple dozen RFDs, it felt like. Oh, yeah. Orienting you in space. It felt like a tough thing to maintain, but man, was that helpful.

Well, thank you. That's all I got to say.
