Thanks for the feedback.
When reading the poll results, I was planning to interpret both "whitelist of function
calls" and "no"
as a plan for a "no" vote on any RFC I would write that did allow "any function or
method call",
in the absence of any response otherwise.
You definitely have a point that it doesn't include complicated reasons such as "yes on
whitelist, less preferably yes on any function/method", or "yes on any function,
definitely no on a whitelist".
But I felt like adding too many voting polls or options would discourage responding to a request for
quick feedback,
and that any more detailed feedback such as this or implementation details could be included in this
email thread.
