I cannot agree more. I deeply respect Kristian, in all possible manners. However, I never call to vote for a given RFC but state what I think and let people make their own choice. Big names, all relative, have a social responsibility when it comes to ask people to vote for or against a given features. Big names backed by companies even more, even if something is done on a private manner. We have to be extremely careful on that. And "we" include myself. -- Pierre @pierrejoye | http://www.libgd.org -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
