My understanding of the discussion at the sprint was that we favored quick
commits of NEPs with extended discussions of them on the list. Updates and
changes would go in through the normal PR process. In practice, I expect
there will be some overlap, I think the important thing is the quick commit
with the understanding that the NEPs are only proposals until formally
adopted. I think the formal adoption process is not well defined...
