Proposed / Approved / Postulated / Superseded
Benefit / Purpose of the decision, and what the technical context was that lead to it. Should be written in a way that can be understood by any team member three years later.
Things of the following kind:
Instead of doing X like we always did, we’re now going to do Y.
We’re starting to do X.
We’re not doing Y anymore because reason X which lead to Y is obsolete.
Immediate changes are X, to consolidate all things to Y requires such and such effort. Long term effects are Z. In the dailly work of a developer working on C, instead of just doing D, D’ has to be done as well.
