I've read all 1200 words of your reply, which is quite a few words. I still can't see a clear description of what problem you're trying to solve by changing who can vote. The reason I'm being pedantic about this, is that when people just discuss possible solutions to a vague sense of "this situation isn't perfect", they will often suggest things that don't actually address the underlying problem. Or disagree about details that don't actually matter. We really can't have a clear conversation about what to change without a clear description of the problem that ought to be solved. For example, if the fundamental problem you are trying to address is that it's too difficult for people to get a vote, then I would support documenting what our current system is, and allowing people to know what they need to do to acquire a vote. If the fundamental problem the RFC is trying to address, is to bring in a whole load of new voters, who don't know how PHP works internally, then I wouldn't be as supportive. cheers Dan Ack -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
