Personally, I find any proposal that does not deal with clearly defining voting eligibility not only questionable, but a non-starter, that has no parallels in any other major Open Source projects. The suggestion that the new RFC makes life more difficult, compared to the current Voting RFC, is simply wrong. It is, in fact, very much the same - except it's a lot more well defined in terms of 'what happens if' - which in the years since the 2011 Voting RFC was enacted became a de-facto wild-west. It may initially feel warm & fuzzy to have vague, fluid rules that are remarkably open to interpretation. But it's not a good idea at all. Zeev
