But build systems and extensions are part of the core.... I'm failing to see why a Windows user's lack of interest in GCC 4 should mean that GCC users don't get something they voted for, is all. Or why a patch affecting only the mysqli extension should be part of a vote about core features. I do see your point when it comes to genuine core features that didn't get the required number of votes. Honest! - Steph
