https://wiki.php.net/rfc/rfc.voting-threshold
This topic has come up on the mailing list a few times, so I'd like to formally open the topic for discussion. I'm generally pretty liberal when it comes to allowing the PHP language to evolve and explore its identity, but the truth is a feature that has 30 people vote against it and 31 people vote in favor of it is not a mandate by any stretch of the imagination. It's an opportunity to examine why a divide exists and if we're all being honest with each other, improve the original idea before it becomes a maintenance burden. Please note the "Open Question". I'm not all that sure 60% is enough of a mandate either, but I wanted to be conservative in my conservatism. If folks think 2/3 is more appropriate (and consistent with syntax changes), I'm happy to change this number before we move to voting phase. -Sara Or, as Ze'ev once famously said, "Give the language a rest". -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
