We have 4 classes of changes: 1. Formatting 2. Editorial (no potential effects on conformance) 3. Substantive (may affect conformance) but not new features 4. New features In the 2005 Process, class 1 & 2 changes could be made to a REC by merely republishing it (as REC). In the 2014 Process, class 2 editorial changes require cycling through PR. Compare: Old - http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#rec-modify New - http://www.w3.org/2014/Process-20140801/#revised-rec Here is the changeset that made this change: https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/AB/rev/fd1d11321989 Here is the issue cited in the changeset log: http://www.w3.org/community/w3process/track/issues/95 According to the issue, the changes were supposedly editorial, and there was no discussion of the justification for or impact of adding this extra PR cycle. Since I don't see any reason to make this more complicated than it was in the 2014 Process, I would like to see this change reverted. ~fantasai
