While I generally agree, in the case where there is a small detail that needs to be addresses by a vote, I think having two votes in one RFC is better than having two almost identical RFCs. However the question that is being voted on needs to be setup properly so that it does not prevent people from being able to vote on both issues. For example the group use RFC (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/group_use_declarations) has a small detail of whether there should be a trailing slash in the syntax, which did not deserve a separate RFC imo. Unfortunately, the vote options were: - Yes - with a trailing "\" - Yes - without a trailing "\" - No This meant it was impossible for people who wanted to vote no to the general idea, to say what was their preferred choice of syntax. The questions and voting choices should have been: "Should Grouped Use Declarations be added to PHP 7" - Yes - No "If added, should the syntax be with trailing "\" or without." - With a trailing "\" - Without a trailing "\" This would have allowed all voters to express their intent for both parts of the question, without being forced to vote 'yes' if they want a say in the exact syntax used. cheers Dan Ack -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
