Re: [RFC] [Discussion] Change the edge case of round()

As for the motivation for the change, it's based on the idea that the current round() behavior is some kind of bug. In other words, the behavior of HALF_UP 0.285 to become 0.29 is itself a bug. To be honest, I'm completely neutral on this. I believe that this is a matter of will and what we want to do. As far as I know, Tim and Gina want change on this issue. I don't want to ignore such opinions and move forward with implementation, so I would like to hear a wider range of opinions. I have created this RFC in order to determine "our intention" once again.
