I'm tending to agree with you here. The PHP Foundation has proven itself as
a valuable organisation. As long as it doesn't go the way of PHP-FIG with
so much bureaucracy, rules, and processes, I would support this movement.

Surely, everyone who has contributed (i.e. has voting karma) has the
opportunity to vote, and therefore, if they choose not to vote, that is
surely their choice. I don't know the ins and outs of it, but I'd have
thought an RFC, well advertised, with plenty of time to ensure as many
people can vote who have rights to.

Just my 2 cents, I don't often post on the internals list, but this would
be a monumental change.
