ADR {ADR-NUMBER}: {TITLE}

Changelog

• {date}: {changelog}

Context

This section contains all the context one needs to understand the current state, and why there is a problem. It should be as succinct as possible and introduce the high level idea behind the solution.

Decision

This section explains all of the details of the proposed solution, including implementation details. It should also describe affects / corollary items that may need to be changed as a part of this. If the proposed change will be large, please also indicate a way to do the change to maximize ease of review. (e.g. the optimal split of things to do between separate PR's)

Status

A decision may be "proposed" if it hasn't been agreed upon yet, or "accepted" once it is agreed upon. If a later ADR changes or reverses a decision, it may be marked as "deprecated" or "superseded" with a reference to its replacement.

{Deprecated|Proposed|Accepted|Declined}

Consequences
