Hi internals,
eleven months ago, there was an interesting thread about a karma for voting on RFCs
(https://externals.io/message/115464), which resulted in not providing this karma to Tobias Nyholm.
But in the latest RFCs (like https://wiki.php.net/rfc/fetch_property_in_const_expressions, https://wiki.php.net/rfc/json_encode_indentation or https://wiki.php.net/rfc/auto-capture-closure)
I can see votes from aaronjunker.
Based what I found here in internals, I think this could be some kind of "loophole" in a
karma system, because he only created one RFC https://wiki.php.net/rfc/global_login which
was declined.
Is it intentional, that getting a karma for creating RFCs allows you to vote on all others RFCs? Or
is it connected to some other permission Aaron got while doing a research for his RFC?
I know that I sound like a snitch here, but I don't think it's good for PHP that users
without strong experiences (in a userland or/and internal) could tip the scales in some RFCs.
(btw I have no connection to Tobias, I just remember that thread :)
Best,
