ZEP0001 status clarification, not "Final"?

[mkitti]

#260 and #261 marked ZEP0001 as Accepted.

ZEP0000 suggests that the status should now be Final.

Once a Specification ZEP has been Accepted, the second PR which was submitted in the zarr-specs repository must be merged. After that, the status will be changed to Final.

However, #263 and #264 seem to be approaching ZEP0001 as if it were Provisionally Accepted which is a state which is not supposed to apply to "core" specifications.

What kind of changes are permitted to ZEP0001 when it is Accepted but not yet Final? When does ZEP0001 become Final? Are (minor) breaking changes are permitted in the Final state?

@MSanKeys963 , ping. Could you clarify the current state.

Hi @mkitti. 👋🏻

Could you clarify the current state

Yes!

As discussed in the last ZEP meeting (rolling notes here), the ZEP0001 is currently Accepted by the ZIC and ZSC.
Please check #227 for the votes.

The ZIC are currently in the implementation phase, and we're in a grace period (which will end soon) to accept minor changes to the specification.

Once we're sure that the implementors propose no additional changes, we will do a quick round of voting, and after that ZEP0001 will be Final.

I hope that helps. Please let me know if there's anything else.

Closing this now.

With the caveat, @MSanKeys963, that explanations like the above should be backported to ZEP0000 itself.
