He's not calling them bad directly, he is calling them "irregularities", singling them out and arguing that they are the reason the RFC is currently does not have necessary majority, and also specifically says "not _all_ of them bad", implying at least some of them are. It's as close to "calling them bad" as you can go while still having that out that he didn't say it directly. It's like saying "I'm not saying X is a complete crook but look at <a long list of arguments which is intended to make everybody think X is a crook>". > current RFCs.

So far we had many votes, in which many people voted, I have no idea which of them voted for the first time when, still none of these results were questioned for a reason that votes of people voting for the first time or rarely is an "irregularity". Suddenly, when a particularly controversial vote is going on, it is a problem. I do not consider it healthy. In other, more opportune and less controversial, time, with different example at stake, this could be a useful discussion, though even then I'd prefer not to start it with singling people out but with establishing general principles and goals we want to achieve with this. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
