Rasmus, If you look at the split in voting you will notice it is > pretty much split along the lines of the people who have to maintain > this code vs. the people who would like a shiny new feature. >
I pulled some numbers, and this isn't really the case. Based off of commits from the past year (since 2012-01-01), here are the raw numbers: No: 1238 Yes: 895 But if you remove the top 2 committing voters (in general, not tied to a list), the numbers even out quite significantly: No: 514 Yes: 456 So I think that point falls somewhat flat... I'm not saying this to raise issues or anything. I just want to point out that the active maintainers are working on both sides of the fence. It's not a "maintainers" vs "the others" vote split...
