Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [RFC] Abolish 50%+1 Votes
From: pthreads@pthreads.org (Joe Watkins)

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Afternoon internals,

This is not a new subject for discussion, it has been discussed over and
over, and I'm quite sure that many people had formed an opinion on 50%+1
votes before the RFC was posted.

One week to allow new points to be raised seems fair enough to me.

I didn't say there would be a shorter voting period, and I'm quite happy to
leave the vote open for two weeks to allow votes to come in.

This isn't a case where opinion is likely to change the content of the RFC:
I'm not looking to change a bunch of rules, or implement a very complicated
feature. We are only looking to answer the question "should we abolish
50%+1 votes" ...

For such a simple question, 3 weeks in total should be long enough.

Cheers
Joe
