docs/rfc/README.md
This directory contains Request for Comments (RFC) documents for the Jaeger project. RFCs explore potential architectural changes, new features, or significant renovations that are under consideration but have not yet been decided upon. They serve as a record of the problem space, trade-off analysis, and proposed approaches to inform future decisions.
An RFC is a document that describes a problem, surveys the solution space, and proposes a concrete approach — without committing to it. Unlike ADRs, which record decisions already made, RFCs are living documents open to feedback and revision. An RFC may eventually be adopted (at which point it may graduate into an ADR), modified, superseded, or simply archived as a record of considered-but-rejected ideas.
