I've removed the RFC only section as it is pretty pointless seeing as 3.2 RFCs are included in the above as well as 3.1 RFCs. I haven't yet added ticket links but I can do that at a later update.

Merged:

• Removal of subsilver2 RFC Ticket

I wish!

It was merged, removing it from the default package but leaving it as officially maintained by phpBB until 3.2 as a package downloadable from phpbb.com

It would be in the updater but not new packages.

That is undone by:

I thought that subsilver 2 was going to be removed, was removed, then community objected, it was added back but decided it would be included in new download packages and would be available as a separate download?

Good work

RFC status on the first page updated, I made some minor changes to the list Unknown Bliss compiled.

Any plans to release 3.1 this year? It's like development progress has grinded to a halt.

How does https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb3/pulls and https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb3/commits/develop suggest development grinding to a halt? If anything I'd say the amount of development in recent months has grown.
