Hi I just opened the vote for the "'Abstain' voting option for RFCs" policy RFC: RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/rfc_vote_abstain Discussion: https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/128185 PR: https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/128185 As with every RFC, a 2/3 majority is required. Voting ends 2025-08-31 at 15:00:00 UTC. The vote already includes the “Abstain” option to dogfood the RFC and to showcase how the voting widget will look like should the RFC be accepted. Although it could be argued that selecting the “Abstain” option would be a vote in favor of having such an option, it will be considered an abstention. Please vote “Yes” if you are in favor of the RFC :-)

I also voted "no" as for me there is no added value in the Abstain-option from a voting point of view. And as the RFC does not mention any possible future additions/modifications regarding quorum I do not see a reason to change the current voting process just to make it clear that someone didn't want to vote opposed to someone forgot to vote. Cheers Andreas PS: I do hope that we at one point get to introduce quorum! And then I will definitely support it! -- ,,, (o o) +---------------------------------------------------------ooO-(_)-Ooo-+ | Andreas Heigl | | mailto:andreas@heigl.org N 50°22'59.5" E 08°23'58" | | https://andreas.heigl.org | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | https://hei.gl/appointmentwithandreas | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | GPG-Key: https://hei.gl/keyandreasheiglorg | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
