Hi,


There’s something that I’m not quite following regarding open votes.

Why are we saying that ‘votes will end no sooner than X’, instead of
actually saying when they *will* end?



If there’s no clear end date for a vote, when do we declare than a vote is
over?  Is it in a specific point in time where the vote happens to be in
favor with what the proposer wanted?



The specific case in point is
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/propertygetsetsyntax-v1.2 - which while has more
supporters than opposers, consistent fell short of the 2/3 majority it
needs to be approved.  The vote should have ended on Wednesday – 4 days
ago, but for some reason it’s still open.  It’s time to close it.



My suggestion is for voting periods to be limited to one week, regardless
of the topic.  It should be more than enough.  Regardless, an ‘open ended’
voting period is unacceptable IMHO.
