* This is not intended to be extensive documentation for a new feature.
For example, there is no need to specify the exact configuration changes,
nor the exact details of any DB model changes. But you should still define
that such changes are required, and be clear on how that will affect
upgrades.

* You should aim to get your spec approved before writing your code.
While you are free to write prototypes and code before getting your spec
approved, its possible that the outcome of the spec review process leads
you towards a fundamentally different solution than you first envisaged.

* But, API changes are held to a much higher level of scrutiny.
As soon as an API change merges, we must assume it could be in production
somewhere, and as such, we then need to support that API change forever.
To avoid getting that wrong, we do want lots of details about API changes
upfront.

Data model impact
=================
Changes which require modifications to the data model often have a wider
impact on the system. The community often has strong opinions on how the data
model should be evolved, from both a functional and performance perspective.
It is therefore important to capture and gain agreement as early as possible
on any proposed changes to the data model.
