Phase 4 entry requirements have vauge/unclear wording

Open sbc100 opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

From phase 4 entry requirements: https://github.com/WebAssembly/meetings/blob/main/process/phases.md#4-standardize-the-feature-working-group

The formalization and the reference interpreter are usually updated (though
these two can be done as part of step 3 at the Working Group chair's discretion).

Do we really want to have the word usually here?

Is can be done as part of step 3 typo? Seems like maybe this should say phase 4 instead of step 3?

I'm not sure what "step 3" is referring to there. Changing it to say "phase 4" would make sense to me, but I'd also be ok with removing the exception and making this an unconditional requirement. I believe that's how we've been treating it in practice.

I'd also have a preference for removing the exception.

The text in question was replaced in https://github.com/WebAssembly/meetings/pull/1232, and the "usually" is no longer present. See here for the new text.
