I have never advocated design or naming by popular vote! I don’t care what ES7 is called, but I have to decide soon on what to put on the cover of an ES6 book and that cover will either be inspired by a 6 or by a 2015. This may seem trivial to others, but for me it is a real decision, which involves quite a bit of money. -- Dr. Axel Rauschmayer a...@rauschma.de rauschma.de
