I don't think it's going to far, if you have people with no clue writing this: https://plus.google.com/+KristianK%C3%B6hntopp/posts/ijoDNH2M8mB Which post says that we're turning PHP into Java. And to this misguided FUD post, that actively asks people to vote no, I can quite easily attribute a few more no votes of people that had never voted before... Too late to tighten up the rules for this one, but something is definitely not right with the current process.
