PHP doesn't currently have a constitution, so currently voting is the
only way of  deciding things. Also how we vote is one of the things
that people are allowed to vote on.

Even if we had a constitution, like the US does there would still need
to be ways of changing it,

Your opinion would have more weight if you contributed more to
internals, other than popping by occasionally to say nasty things to
people.
