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,
