This change proposes to merge the `rejected` and `withdrawn` phases with a `declined` phase. This phase preserves the intent of a feature that the community decided to not implement. To communicate how the lifecycle works, a MermaidJS flowchart has been added, and the markdown content has been restructured to include sub-headers. The `replaced` state has also been updated to communicate that a specific feature has been deprecated or removed. Deprecations and removals require SHIP proposals to ensure the end community is well informed and has sufficient time to stop using the given functionality. Finally, this change also adds a requirement that `implementable` proposals should create corresponding feature tracker issues in GitHub, with sub-issues that identify specific tasks that implement the feature. Tracker issues broadcast to the community work that needs to be done and document the progress of a feature. These tracker issues also encourage contributions from new community members.
