RFCs are never
moot because of an RFAr. Consensus trumps Arbcom--
Arbcom's just there for those gray cases where we prior dispute
resolution couldn't come to consensus.
So once the RFAR opened, what was the purpose of the RFC?
Well first and foremost-- at the time the RFAr opened, Durova was
still an admin, and there was an emerging consensus that she had lost
the community's trust. The RFC continued well after the start of the
Arbcom in order to assess that. Once she resigned, that issue was
moot.
Another function of the RFC was that it served as a forum for feedback
to the project from the community about the appropriateness of
Durova's behavior (and, of course, the appropriateness of similar
behavior in the future was it to recurr).
