Hmm yeah that makes sense.  What if we split the questions into multiple
parts?  For example, the first question would be something along the lines
of, "Conceptually, do you think this is a good idea?"  That could be open
to PHP developers as well.  Then the second question could be, "If you
answered 'Yes', as a core contributor, do you believe this proposal is
technically feasible?"  That question would be open only to the people who
can vote now.

Mind you, I'm just throwing this out there off the top of my head.  It
could be a really stupid idea, but I thought it might provoke some
interesting discussion at the very least.  With that in mind....  Thoughts?
