Hi devs, hi dir-spec.txt authors,
when I reviewed the open proposals related to the directory protocol, I wondered how to integrate the proposed changes into dir-spec.txt.
Oops; I missed this sentence, and should send a quick reminder: we don't actually integrate proposals into the specs until after the code is merged. (See proposal 001-process.txt) We learned this lesson from the bad old days when our specifications were a mix of reality and aspiration.
I figure that you probably knew this, but just in case, I should probably stop you from wasting time on merging unimplemented proposals.
(To clarify: Nothing I've said in this email means we *shouldn't* update dir-spec.txt for readability and maintainability.)
peace,
