Im a userland developer and just wanted to express that as a person outside internals following the recent discussions, Im really sad for the reason of the tone used, the amount of human/brain energy used/wasted in these and as someone mentioned already it may happen certain developers to abandon the project due to all that. And this is the last thing I would say we all want (both internals and externals). In regards to the 2/3 majority - I would say that in case the minority opposition is very strong (like in the votes on short tags and warning levels) isnt it possible to reach a compromise? Like acknowledging the vote but postpone the implementation for another major version? I understand the majority rule and the rules of the democracy but again according these rules even when certain decision passes through and there is still very strong opposition compromises are sought after. With the above Im not trying to push my point over the specific RFCs - I fully understand the implications there and have an option on these but this is offtopic. At this point considering how much stress these have caused I would say I got to the point that Im fine with either of the votes/implementations as long as the PHP team doesnt suffer any harm in terms of loss of people or massive waste of brain effort. And I understand that this topic is about the governance of the project etc... just wanted to bring the attention of the group to the fact that even on 2/3 in certain cases compromises may be needed and this to be taken into account when deciding on the governance/voting process. Thank you all Vesko Kenashkov
