[blaggacao]

I'd like to ask for advice what to do with rfc#93 Propose RFC Categories.

For now, it doesn't seem like the initiative attracts a lot of supportive mind share from community.

I think it's of utter importance, but if I'm the only one, I acknowledge nothing can be done about.

Would you advice on closing it right away or leave it around for another week or two?

[lheckemann]

@blaggacao we didn't discuss it, since you marked it as a draft. If you want to start it through the full RFC process, feel free to remove the draft status and we will open it for shepherd nominations (though a lack of interest might lead to a lack of nominations, which in turn will hinder its progress — maybe you can rework it to get more people on board). If you don't think you'll get anywhere with that, you can close it to withdraw it.
