correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see why that would be a RFC. (Small) internal changes with no change in userland don't go through the RFC process and are handled on GitHub instead. This should also target the supported version (8.4) instead of master.
Honestly, I don’t know the norms for this kind of thing. This is a small change, but it involves an ABI breaking change. That was why I thought it should target a new release chain (8.6) rather than applying it to 8.4. If anyone wants to help me steward this out of being a draft, I would welcome the advice.

For internal API breaking changes, it should definitely target master. Usually for stuff smaller changes in that purview, you shouldn't need an RFC unless requested.
