I think it's important to recognize the difference between 
something like DIP 1000 - where your points are quite fair and 
involved a lot of work from Walter that few other people could do 
- and DIP 1028 - where there are many people who Walter could 
have assigned to do the work.

This change implies that Walter isn't going to be writing the 
things like DIP 1028 that are relatively straightforward. Saves 
him some time. However, I have some skepticism that Walter would 
wait for a DIP to be prepared before starting work on something 
as important as DIP 1000. I would expect him to plow ahead and 
prepare a preview switch and solicit some feedback. Maybe the DIP 
gets done, but if it doesn't and there's an implementation that 
people are happy with then I wouldn't be surprised if it is just 
gradually put in.
