Closes #182.

tl;dr

  • In practice, most merged RFCs come from the React team. Acknowledge this and explain why.
  • Clarify that the purpose of RFCs is not necessarily to get merged, but to spark a discussion that can inform later proposals.
  • Remove the commitment of timely reviews since in practice we aren't doing a good job at that.

I think this reflects how the RFC process works in practice, and being honest about it is probably better.

authors are reading the discussions, so RFCs often lead to community experimentation and userland solutions.

We apply the same level of rigour both to React Team RFCs and Community RFCs. The primary difference
between them is in the design phase: React Team RFCs tend to be submitted at the end of the design
