Larry Wall and Damian Conway have both started writing about which RFCs have been accepted, denied, and are still under consideration. Damian has said in talks that the examination process may take another six months.

Larry wrote two apocalypses, one to match each of the first two chapters of the camel book. Apocolypse in the sense of "a revealing" of good news. And yes, he has lists of which RFCs are considered in each. If an RFC isn't covered in either apocalypse, it probably hasn't been decided upon yet.

To go along with the second apocolypse, Damian has published Exegesis Two which explains more practically how the RFCs might probably be implemented. Of course, everything is subject to "Rule Number Two: Larry is allowed to change his mind"
