The proposal aims to develop open-source parachain runtimes and FRAME pallets. It outlines a four-stage plan over 12 months, beginning with forming a dedicated 3-member team to collaborate with Parity and Polkadot. Tasks include roadmap publication, team sourcing, and initiating development on Generic Runtime and FRAME pallets. Quality and security measures include code maintenance, testing, and quarterly reviews.

 Set the new runtime code.

 # <weight>
 - `O(C + S)` where `C` length of `code` and `S` complexity of `can_set_code`
 - 1 storage write (codec `O(C)`).
 - 1 call to `can_set_code`: `O(S)` (calls `sp_io::misc::runtime_version` which is expensive).
 - 1 event.
 The weight of this function is dependent on the runtime, but generally this is very expensive.
 We will treat this as a full block.
