This is also passive aggressive phrasing. You're trying to make me feel bad for pointing out how your phrasing is not conducive to a pleasant productive conversation. > I called it an “obvious mistake” because it was clear to me that we missed > something. 'We' didn't miss it. You might have, but multiple people have explained multiple times that it was a deliberate choice to limit the scope of work for one RFC. If you had written "I consider it a mistake" that leaves room for other people to have a different opinion. But you have kept writing things like "Just because it was intentional, does not make it less of a mistake." which is dismissive of other people's point of view. > I think there are over 1000 people with “voting powers”.

Most of the time people will only vote if they feel they understand the subject being discussed, and have enough confidence that voting a particular way is the right choice. That's quite different from trying to make someone _have_ to say yes or no. But there is at least one RFC that, in my opinion, there were a lot of people who voted who did not fully understand the technical details, or the implications for on-going maintenance: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/jit > If you don’t trust the release managers to manage the release, Ben is right, I didn't say that. I was responding to your sentence which was "what to include and not to include in a release.". > then I suggest you should improve the way we select new release managers. 'Volunteering' other people to do work is also a passive aggressive way of phrasing things. You're the person who is apparently unhappy with the current process that has been used for over a decade. If you want it changed, you do the work to change it. > This is the the extended power I would like the RMs (as a group) to have. That is also volunteering other people for more work. IMO the position of RM is already stressful enough, to the extent that I will never volunteer to be one, as it would cause me to have a nervous breakdown. Making it so that they also have to be arbiters of which post feature freeze RFCs are 'valid' or not would be an extra, and stressful, burden for them to carry.
