The change process is C4.1 with a few modifications:
- A specification is created and modified by pull requests according to C4.1.
- Each specification has an editor who publishes the RFC to (website TBD) as needed.
- Each specification has a status on that website: Raw, Draft, Stable, Legacy, Retired, Deleted.
- Non-cosmetic changes are allowed only on Raw and Draft specifications.
