Design Decision Log#

This serves as an index over the various decisions we make as a maintainer team over what is considered best practice, and what we should encourage/require as a design standard. These are not necessarily fixed, and are likely to evolve and be replaced as new decisions are made. This is an evolution of an internal process and will pivot to take place in public as much as possible to allow for external feedback from the community and core contributors.
