The RfC documents were written to complement discussions of the Lumiera developers;
yet since the time where ''Ichthyo'' is working basically alone on the project,
this kind of discussions have ceased. During the following years, some ideas
promoted by the existing RfC documents became rather detached from the
actual state of development in the code base.
Many of the existing RfC documents require some commentary to place them
into context, and some of the decisions taken in the early stage of the
project should be **re-assessed**. This includes the decision to reject
some proposals, which initially might have seemed desirable, yet could not
be reconciled with the understanding of the matter and topic in question,
as was gained through the ongoing analysis and development.
At various places, concepts and drafts from the early stage of the
Lumiera Project are still reflected in the online documentation pages.
During the last months, development focussed on the Render Engine,
causing a shift in some parts of the design, and obsoleting other
parts altogether (notably we consider to use IO_URING for async IO)
