I would like to flag one thing about how my earlier message is being used here, separate from whether I agree with what you've said. I neither have the authority nor the standing to advise the very people who maintain this lanaguage on what they should do about a policy/governance issue, especially on something that could very easily waste their time and effort. What I actually offered was an observation about a pattern I'd noticed recur over the months, a question about it, and my two-cents answer to that question. I'd rather that stayed a question people could take or leave, not a suggestion that is seeking support or trying to avoid opposition. > Thank you all for the constructive discussion. I look forward to focusing our > energy back on improving PHP! Thank you... And FWIW I do think this is a genuine conversation about improving PHP. Best, Osama
