I am a bit disappointed by the result, as I think it would be a good change, but I am much more disappointed by the fact that that 20 people voted against it and not even half of them - I would say maybe 1/5 of them - chose to participate in discussion even minimally and explain what is wrong with it in their opinion. I understand when everybody agrees there's no need of the flood of +1s, vote is enough, but disagreement by its nature is more diverse. I think not bothering to discuss and then just voting "no" with no explanation is not how the healthy RFC process should be working.
I was supposed to send an explanation after voting, but I forgot. Sorry about that.
I initially was going to vote "yes" as I kind of liked the concept. What made me change my mind was the implementation decision. I fully understand the reasons behind a conservative approach, but I just didn't like the "magic" (doesn't exist, but it's ok to call it). I would have voted yes for the approach #1 as it looked more consistent, and #2 seemed to be slightly worse than what we have now.
