New guidelines regarding RFCs

Earlier this month in the Discord server, I brought up two things that several people and myself have issues with. I plan on implementing them as new rules regarding how users respond to RFCs, either currently being drafted or voted upon. These rules have received support from many, and I'd like to bring them forth to those on the wiki:

1. No implementing changes prior to an RFC passing. Even if it looks like the RFC has a good chance of passing or failing, that doesn't mean it's always a guarantee success. If someone on the opposite side makes a very valid point, it can potentially, and greatly, affect the outcome of the proposal, resulting in it failing and making those premature edits go wasted. Believe me, I have seen plenty of proposals that had this unfortunate outcome.
2. Comments should not be used to vote on drafted RFCs. They miss the point of what a comment is on proposals: comments ask questions, new ideas to add onto the proposal, etc. Ever since the new RFC draft system went into effect, the comments section has always been used as an alternative for voting when general users are not allowed to do so until it opens. It should be made clear on what the purpose of the section serves: as a form of feedback to improve the proposal instead of another voting option.
