People are sometimes quite surprised by the attitude other people have on how best to maintain and improve PHP. I'm hoping that documenting my understanding of the attitudes that have been taken during RFC discussions, might avoid some of the surprise factor in discussions and so make the conversations be less confrontational. https://github.com/Danack/RfcCodex/blob/master/rfc_attitudes.md To be clear, this is only meant to help people understand other people's view-points. It is not a fixed set of attitudes that I think either are or should be followed. It's also not aimed at making everyone agree on all topics, but just to help set people's expectations on how any particular RFC might be received. cheers Dan Ack
