In that case, can I suggest posting such things as [wip]
(work-in-progress). That way it's clear that the change is intended
as a discussion point, and not a final waiting-on-approval patch. It
unfortunatly comes across as very strange when someone posts what
looks like the final [rfa] for for a specific variant of a change when
the related technical discussion has not been resolved.
A WIP marker is nice, but I don't agree it's somehow an affront to
post a patch in the middle of a discussion. Even if Roland had
intended it as a final RFA, everyone should be willing to consider
changes to their patches --- even after they've been committed.
Being inflexible, making unreasonable demands, and things like that
are what's offensive.
