 ## Features
 
 If you're thinking of adding a new feature to the language, library, analysis tools, etc., please *don't* start by submitting a pull request.
-Luau team has internal priorities and a roadmap that may or may not align with specific features, so before starting to work on a feature please submit an issue describing the missing feature that you'd like to add.

 For features that result in observable change of language syntax or semantics, you'll need to [create an RFC](https://github.com/luau-lang/rfcs/blob/master/README.md) to make sure that the feature is needed and well designed.
