In my interpretation of the current rules, a measure could pass with only 3 votes cast (2 for / 1 against). In fact, there was a recent proposal that passed with only 11 votes cast. If that few of voting members are participating, maybe the proposal wasn't clear enough (or maybe it's just not needed at all)? Sure you can argue that they had ample time to discuss, but I would say perhaps they just saw no value in it. If a proposal isn't offering enough value for the greater community, maybe it doesn't belong in core and should be either a pecl extension or userland code? >
I disagree with this. The fact that not many people voted doesn't mean that the feature is not important. Some RFC are very technical and about specific topics that not many voters is interested in. However it can be important for some users and shouldn't be rejected just because there are not enough votes even if the majority is in favour. It's often a specific feature for extension so moving everything to PECL is not really an option. P.S. Please don't top post... ;) Cheers Jakub
