RFC means "request for comments" but it seems that many > interpret it as "I can ignore it". I'm afraid you are correct. Dave used to occasionally apply RFC patches which kept reviewers on their toes a little bit (it kept me for sure). These days patchwork automatically marks patches as RFC based on the subject, tossing them out of "Action required" queue. So they are extremely easy to ignore. Perhaps an alternative way of posting would be to write "RFC only, please don't apply" at the end of the cover letter. Maybe folks will at least get thru reading the cover letter then :S
