We have been pushing for RFCs. That doesn't mean that discussion on 
semi-nebulous things are out--they're just precursors to RFCs.

There's also reasonable interstitial traffic on things that are related to 
the topic area, but not on a single concrete thing. That seems OK too, 
though it's up to the list chair. (Discussions of function inlining and 
cache hit/miss issues are certainly within the purview of the internals 
list, though not things that warrant RFCs)
