So, essentially you say that people that participate have better chance of getting their way than people that are too busy to care. And that's supposed to be a bad thing? > TL;DR: I'd prefer no one actively trying to lobby anyone else to vote in > their favor, but prodding people with a neutral "hey, check out this I'd prefer people to express their opinions and try to convince others freely, without any allegation that doing so is somehow bad and should be prohibited. If somebody feels that he/she can not objectively vote and is easily swayed by lobbying, they could recuse themselves from voting, there's no problem with that and it is easy to do. OTOH, if they think their friends do not have informed opinions and are easily swayed by lobbying, they can refrain from calling such friends to vote. But I don't see why they should prohibit normal discussion behavior for others. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
