Hi Anthony!
Thanks for bringing this up again. I am asking you the same I asked Andrea
2 weeks ago on Twitter: make it a triple option vote please. She didn't
want to do it, hope you do! This way you eliminate the neverending
discussion about weak vs strict, let the votes decide and see who really
prefers weak type hinting only and who prefers the stricter way, both camps
will have an option to vote.
So I propose 3 voting options: Yes (strict), Yes (weak), No. The Yes votes
combined need 2/3 of the votes. Then a simple majority of 50%+1 between the
different Yes votes is needed.
Thanks!
Albert
