They seem to have closed down comments on it, I'm seeing

Has there ever been a case of someone locking GitHub issues while being in the right?

Does it disturb anyone else that this is (a) in a personal namespace & (b) reason given for closing discourse being a single individual's need to disconnect from work at the weekend, when that person is employed by a large corp to maintain this spec which they are implementing in their product?

Surely Google as an org, if they're behind this, or at least a standards bodies own org namespace should both own this project, and also decision making around discourse, with any individual employees being free to leave the project un-answered outside of working hours?

This isn't some open source passion project someone's doing in their off time...

The firestorm will be worse by then. I predict this RFC will not allow comments.
