Personally, I find any proposal that does not deal with clearly defining =
voting eligibility not only questionable, but a non-starter, that has no =
parallels in any other major Open Source projects.

The suggestion that the new RFC makes life more difficult, compared to =
the current Voting RFC, is simply wrong.  It is, in fact, very much the =
same - except it's a lot more well defined in terms of 'what happens if' =
- which in the years since the 2011 Voting RFC was enacted became a =
de-facto wild-west.

It may initially feel warm & fuzzy to  have vague, fluid rules that are =
remarkably open to interpretation.  But it's not a good idea at all.
