Exactly, however the idea is to give common sense a chance. We
explicitly did not specify that RFCs cannot be accepted after the 1st
alpha but before the beta phase (feature freeze).

And here I have to agree, language changes (syntax, new language
features, etc.) need much more time to be evaluated correctly. This is
then the RMs role to decide if this evaluation has been done correctly
or not. But I did not check the time plan to see if it is even
possible now to accept any new RFC.
