Subject: RE: [PHP-DEV] Vote process change proposal
From: zeev@zend.com (Zeev Suraski)

All,

I wholeheartedly recommend that we don't discuss any proposals to change the
voting process at this point in time.

There are definitely flaws in the voting RFC and its implementation, and I
think we should address them - but not right now.   With the exception of
the few RFCs still up for a vote - we should move our focus exclusively on
getting PHP 7 out the door on time.  We have at least a few months before
this becomes relevant again if not more.  We've also just went through a
very intense vote, and we need to take some time for things to settle down
dealing with complicated issues like that.

Zeev
