If the forum would be a way to access the same data in a different way, it's ok. But the 'votes' remind me of "protests" on Facebook that have thousands of 'likes' but completely no impact. RFCs are a place for voting, and mailing lists are a place for expressing opinions. --Leszek -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
