The blueprints and spec documents are a medium to foster collaboration
and feedback around a subject, document what is planned, and communicate
implementation status. Feel free to change them to reflect the updated
plans.

The ultimate gate is the proposed change's code review by the core team
reviewers. By communicating your plans earlier in blueprints and specs,
you just increase your chances of acceptation and be a good citizen in
open design and open development.
