That's all covered in Peter's draft, but it wouldn't hurt to repeat it here. If it takes more than two sentences, it's probably too much.

I think that's true of any path forward at this point. It would probably take longer to roll our own than to wait for PRECIS. I think that work is stable enough that we can probably "finish" the chat draft, and have it sit in the RFC editor queue until the dependencies clear.
