Hello everyone !

It's my first mail here and before writing anything else I'd like to
say that I'm thankful to Anthony and Derick for carrying this RFC.

Now… I have one issue with this argument :

I think it falls in the « perfect solution » fallacy. We have the
current situation, which is already open to abuse (see the repeated
references towards  « the toxicity of internals ») and because such
abuses can still happen with a Code of Conduct and the team in charge
of watching its application you consider that it is a bad idea.

Furthermore, the abuses that may be perpetuated by such a team are
already limited by the « Accountability » paragraph of the RFC :

« The PHP project voting body has the right to overturn any action
taken the Community Mediation Team by vote (50% + 1 required to
overturn). »

Respectfully yours,
