Is this simply ... Every element of a vote has to achieve 2/3rds? While there are many cases where a simple yes/no question can eventually be agreed on, and I would prefer that some of the 50/50 decisions had a much greater consensus, areas where there is no clean consensus will not be solved 'simply' by moving the goal posts? The main problem is simply that there is not a common consensus on just how PHP should develop, and things like 'who can vote' and getting a sensible number of people to agree on something is just as important. The recent RFC on 'Debugging PDO Prepared Statement' is a good example of where people who may be affected have no vote, but people who could properly assess the now approved patch don't have the time or incentive to do so. A number of current RFC's have overlapping elements where a consensus on the base approach may be of more use than patching individual parts in isolation. A vote on the 'roadmap' element with sub sections on elements which may well not be appropriate for a full 3/2rds in light of the main question. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
