FWIW, I think it's a bad decision, made against the thoughts of clear majority of core developers - and for hardly a good reason. I believe it illustrates very well why we need to properly define our voting eligibility rules, and I hope someone would be up to the challenge of tackling it (I decided not to pursue it further after the 'abolish' RFC(s)).
A 68% majority which barely clears the 2/3 requirements for something as fundamental as that - with so many core devs against it - we'll deserve all the criticism that will be coming our way in 7.4/8.0 from end users wondering why we needlessly broke their apps and made migration a bit more of a headache.
