For the compiler I can't call the "impl period" 2017 successful at all.
Do you remember what happened due to the pre-impl-period RFC deadline? I remember.

Last month(s) before the impl period:

  • Compiler contributors - work less than usual due to constant distraction by the flood of pre-deadline RFCs.
  • Compiler non-contributors - write RFCs as if it's the last day of their life.

The impl period itself:

  • Compiler contributors - work as usual.
  • Compiler non-contributors - relax on the pile of RFCs.
