Pierre,
Can you review this RFC and the votes? The wording "5.5 final
release" needs assessing. You probably meant "first 5.5 production
release". If anyone interpreted it as it is actually written
i.e. "terminal 5.5 release", then the vote needs to be re-run.
How do you plan to find out who would've taken it that way? Ask all who
voted?
Probably. I suggest being practical and getting a best-effort feel for it.
Lack of responses to my email is one indicator that the the community
doesn't have an issue with the RFC wording.
Maybe it sounds more ambiguous for a native speaker, but I actually had
to reread this mail to get your point. I've never heard anyone use
"final" as "terminal",
I have. There is also a subtle distinction between the use of "final" in
"final 5.5.0" and "final 5.5".
the "final" in the software development domain
has always been the name for the version after the RCs, at least for me.
That's the way I took it for my vote. The next day I realized that non-native
English speakers might possibly have thought otherwise.
