While I think it's important for me to share my opinion (because my opinion is, like, the best opinion), I don't think that opinion needs to be able to vote. You and I still have soft power — we can use our platform (many existing voters follow both you and I on Twitter) to encourage people to vote yes on an RFC we feel strongly about e.g. https://twitter.com/psalmphp/status/1347163072587186178. There are also lots of examples of non-voters influencing RFCs to make them more acceptable to the wider PHP community: https://twitter.com/brendt_gd/status/1335090303192195075 Best wishes, Matt
