Oh and a quick question:  Could you clarify how many voting choices there
are going to be?  The RFC only lists "PHP 6" and "PHP 7", yet it says that
a "plurality" will be required for a win, which means that there should be
at least 3 or more choices.  A plurality basically means that you got the
most votes even if it's less than 50%, which can only happen if there aer 3
or more choices.  Otherwise it's just a majority.  Did you intend to list
another voting option?  Or did you mean to say "simple majority" instead of
"plurality"?

Here's a quick rundown of the terms in question:

Super majority:  Overwhelming support.  Exact number varies.  In the case
of PHP, it means 2/3 majority.

Simple majority:  50% + 1 vote.

Plurality:  The most votes out of 3 or more choices, even if it's less than
50%.  In many elections systems, in the event of a plurality, the top two
vote-getters will be chosen from in a run-off election to ensure that the
final choice has majority support.
