To compare, alone on the CSPRNG voting 41 persons took part. What is happening is that the "exceptions snow ball" starts to roll, the commendation to have an RFC was expressed earlier and is merely a measure to ensure everyone is involved and the "snow ball" doesn't turn into a "snow bank" at the end. Hopefully the escalation happened lately is good for seeing possible consequences to take shape.
