I have just edited the wiki to reflect the outcome of our discussion.

I hereby poll for one final round of disapprovals/discussion on the
wiki page before making it an officially supported Xiph policy. Those
who care thus have a final chance. Cut-off point is the June Xiph
meeting.

We should discuss announcements at the next xiph meeting.

In addition to an update of the wikipedia page, we might consider a
press release. We haven't done press releases recently - this might be
an opportunity to start so again.

Also as a consequence of the discussion, we need to update our rfcs.

Any volunteers to help me turn that wiki page into an rfc are very welcome!

Cheers,
Silvia.
