You argue that this supermajority vote is irrelevant, and formally it indeed is, but pondering about formalities is kind of ignorant against the now well-known community opinion. > > https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/b98f18e7c3838cf587a1b6d0f033b89e9909c79d No vote was made on this, therefore this doesn't violate any community rules, does it? If you think this should be reverted, explain why. > > https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/42577c6b6b7577c57c161ee4a74cb193382bf1e0 Favored by supermajority, see above. > > https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/c7637ed1c03f556c6fb65884cfc5bfea4920b1c7 No vote, no rule violation, see above. > > https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/371ae12d890f1887f79b7e2a32f808b4595e5f60 As you see in the commit message, this implements an (unwritten) rule cited by Nikita Popov (which is now written as of https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/10630). I personally don't agree with this rule (there's a thread on this mailing list about it), and I would favor reverting this commit - I only submitted this trying to help with implementing a rule even though I don't agree with it. If this gets reverted, then https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/10630 should be reverted as well. Again, not my opinion, I'm just trying to help implement somebody else's opinion. Max
