Hi Simon and all,

This is again a long message but I’ll try to reply shortly.

First, my apologies as I failed to understand that you were rejecting
the change altogether—I interpreted your comments on details about the
patches as a sign that you were not opposing the idea in itself.

Second, the sentence of mine you quoted was poorly worded.  I felt with
your last messages in the thread that you were questioning
“builtin:download” itself, which was going way beyond the scope of this
patch.

Last, and probably more importantly: I’m all for an RFC process as you
propose!  I think this is something we desperately need anytime we make
non-trivial changes to the core, to command-line interfaces, etc.  I’ll
be there to support a move in that direction as much as I can.

So… thank you for making pushing this proposal.

Ludo’.
