In that case, can I suggest posting such things as [wip] 
(work-in-progress).  That way it's clear that the change is intended as 
a discussion point, and not a final waiting-on-approval patch.  It 
unfortunatly comes across as very strange when someone posts what looks 
like the final [rfa] for for a specific variant of a change when the 
related technical discussion has not been resolved.
