Afternoon internals, This is not a new subject for discussion, it has been discussed over and over, and I'm quite sure that many people had formed an opinion on 50%+1 votes before the RFC was posted.
One week to allow new points to be raised seems fair enough to me. I didn't say there would be a shorter voting period, and I'm quite happy to leave the vote open for two weeks to allow votes to come in. This isn't a case where opinion is likely to change the content of the RFC: I'm not looking to change a bunch of rules, or implement a very complicated feature. We are only looking to answer the question "should we abolish 50%+1 votes" ... For such a simple question, 3 weeks in total should be long enough.
