Sure, we are still keen to see the RFC resolved, we just worry that it is
not progressing at the speed we would like. It's not a case of ignoring it
but a case of not letting ourselves be blocked on it whilst we have
momentum.
I was merely stating that we are not afraid of continuing down the Mustache
based templating route, if we get to the point we need to use templates
for skins, since it is already available, has passed security review and
performance review and can easily be swapped out for another language if
necessary.
We are not scared of the RFC resolving to decide on using another template
language. Having to batch convert templates from one template language to
whatever language we standardise on can be done via a script if the
resulting template language is not Mustache based.
Both Flow and MobileFrontend are heavily using Mustache based templates so
we would have to write such a script anyway.
I just wanted to be open about this.

I completely agree. We can't continue just ignoring the RFC and
implementing temporary solutions.
Nor should we ignore the RFC and implement a permanent solution.
Has this RFC been scheduled for one of the weekly RFC chats yet?
In addition to that, let me know how I can help. The RFC is definitely
relevant to the Growth team as well.
