When the initial comment period expires, the RFC can be merged if there's consensus that the change is important and that the details of the syntax/semantics presented are workable. The decision to merge the RFC is made by the Luau team.
When revisions on the RFC text that affect syntax/semantics are suggested, they need to be incorporated before a RFC is merged; a merged RFC represents a maximally accurate version of the code change that is going to follow.
When revisions on the RFC text that affect syntax/semantics are suggested, they need to be incorporated before a RFC is merged; a merged RFC represents a maximally accurate version of the language change that is going to be implemented.
In some cases RFCs may contain conditional compatibility clauses. E.g. there are cases where a change is potentially not backwards compatible, but is believed to be substantially beneficial that it can be implemented if, in practice, the backwards compatibility implications are minimal. As a strawman example, if we wanted to introduce a non-context-specific keyword `globally_coherent_buffer`, we would be able to do so if our analysis of Luau code (based on the Roblox platform at the moment) informs us that no script in existence uses this keyword. In cases like this an RFC may need to be revised after the initial implementation attempt based on the data that we gather.
