in reply to Perl 6 RFC List

You might be interested in the following list that seems to be just what you were looking for, copied directly from Apocalypses 1 and 2. (As I quoted from Damian in my response to your last query, they are official but subject to "Rule Number Two: Larry is allowed to change his mind"). It is interesting to me that many of the RFCs in your list, were not on the below list. And vice versa.

The PSA rating stands for ``Problem, Solution, Acceptance''.
The problem and solution are graded on an a-f scale.

The acceptance rating is one of:
- a Accepted wholeheartedly
- b Accepted with a few "buts"
- c Accepted with some major caveats
- r Rejected

    Definitly different. Damian's talk shows that "Hilander Variable Types" was rejected, for example. And "This is last major revision", as I recall in the paper, was rejected right there! That is, he talked about it, but said 7 might be better for a last version number. Larry also said he was not going to have inline comments.

    So, that might be a list of what was covered in the Apocalypse, but pros/cons mixed together. That is, the ones he talked about. And you show Retracted ones on that list, so those can't possibly be "accepted".
