Because the cover letter has RTF in the subject, presumably.

You know the situation the best as the author, you should make
a clear call on the nature of the posting. It's either RFC/RFT
or a ready-to-go-in posting.

Maybe in smaller subsystems you can post an RFC/RTF and then it
gets applied after some time without a repost but we don't do that.
The normal processing time for a patch is 1-3 days while we like
to give people a week to test. So the patches would have to rot in
the review queue for extra half a week. At our patch rate this is
unsustainable.
