Hi everyone,
I've included the ArchCom-RFC status update in this mail below, which now
has a dedicated wiki page:
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_committee/Status>
Assuming we build the habit, this should be updated weekly.

Recent RFC office hours
- 2016-05-04: Phab:E169
- T130528: RFC: PSR-6 Cache interface in Mediawiki core
- Declined. A lot of the discussion was about these three
questions:
1. what problem was this RFC trying to solve?
2. if BagOStuff is an obstacle, then which is true?
- a) need a better caching abstraction than BagOStuff?
or
- b) does BagOStuff just need incremental improvement
- c) should BagOStuff be deprecated, and not replaced
with anything?
3. if we decide to rethink our caching model, do we need
tagged caching?
