Bob, The way the RFC the choices are going to be interpreted was presented ahead of time, was available throughout the entire discussion period, and very clearly so: "In case the majority chooses to extend the lifetime of PHP 5.6 (>50%) - then the option garnering more votes between the two proposed timelines would win." I'm not sure what the situation would have been had we truly had a 23/23 split, probably a revote or an extended voting period, but the current situation is very well defined under the RFC terms.
