Hopefully we'll get more structure than that soon. The key would be to 
get language design experts on team for core language matters. For 
library matters we have a few experts on roster already who can weigh 
in. Also, in the future we'll need more specialized teams for things 
like numerics, concurrency, parallelism etc.

Agreed. So can I consider the deadline has passed, take a snapshot of 
the DIP from github, and review it? My plan (after consulting with 
Walter as well) is to provide a detailed written review with a decision.


Thanks,
