Yah indeed. We should improve and systematize the use of DIPs. A DIP 
should have specific states such as "RFC", "For review", "Accepted", 
"Implementing", and "Implemented".

The acceptance of a DIP means that an implementation of it will be 
merged without objections (save, of course, for implementation-related 
ones).

Committing to such a process ensures that features are specified in good 
level of detail and would encourage people to work on things in 
understanding that their work will bear fruit.
