No explanation what an eRFC is?

Took me a while to find out what an eRFC is, I believe such information should also be in the dev-guide, but it isn’t AFAICT.

Maybe https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/walkthrough.html#pre-rfc-and-rfc would be a good candidate to place the explanation for it.

it seems they are rarely used these days

Yeah, but the explanation is still helpful when someone reads an old eRFC or related topic, e.g. https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2318-custom-test-frameworks.html or https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2136. The explanation with a note telling that the word isn't used these days would be sufficient.
