Because the premise here that PHP contributors understand PHP, it's ideas, limitations, history, goals, technical structure etc. more than anybody else. Of course, this is not absolute - somebody may have excellent understanding of PHP and not be a contributor, or contribute into some narrow area without ever gaining understanding of the project as a whole. But if we have to have a simple rule of how to identify people that are informed enough in PHP matters to influence decisions that have huge impact, that's the best we have right now. Maybe we could have better one, if proposed, it can be discussed. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
