Requests for Comment to review
We'll quickly look at the status of several RFCs and maybe mark some for consolidation. Specific RFCs to consider will be on this page the day before.
 * 1) Configuration (database) RFCs: original, RFC 2, and JSON onwiki . Shall we ask authors to consolidate by a certain date?
 * 2) URL shortener (and URL Shortener Service, probably to be consolidated). Do we have the implementation details Tim wanted?
 * 3) Assert. Any particular enthusiasm or next steps here?
 * 4) Linker refactor. Any initial comments?
 * 5) additional RFC here
