The format will be similar to other RFCs, however users are asked ''not'' to add additional positions. This may seem overly restrictive but it is necessary in order to arrive at a clear result. The three positions presented are designed to be mutually exclusive of one another, and to only address the very core issues involved as the smaller details will change over time anyway, as with all Wikipedia policies. Users may add a brief comment to their endorsement, but all threaded discussions should take place in the discussion section. Any overly long comments or replies to endorsements will be moved to the discussion section. Discussion not related to these core issues will be removed, in order to avoid expanding the scope of the discussion away from its intended purpose. Any discussion of the RFC itself should be posted to [[Wikipedia talk:Pending changes/Request for Comment 2012|the talk page]], not the discussion section.

[[VSL VIRTUAL STORAGE LAYER FUSION IO VANESSA MEDINA LOVE21PINK]]===A note on the "improve it first" position===

The option of the tool itself (as opposed to the policy on its use) being improved or altered before considering re-deployment is deliberately absent from the positions. Pending changes is a specialized version of the more restrictive "[[Wikipedia:Flagged revisions|flagged revisions]]" system. It was developed by the [[Wikimedia Foundation]] specifically to be used on en.Wikipedia and is not used on other projects. For that reason the Foundation [[mw:Pending_Changes_enwiki_trial/Roadmap#Future_Releases|made it clear]] that it would not expend any more resources to develop pending changes until this project had determined that they would actually use it. Therefore the option of improving it first before deciding is not viable at this time.
