Now, I can explain why based on my use of Symfony and Doctrine, but that suggests that I'm going to change my mind when truthfully, I'm almost certainly not going to — it's a difference of philosophy, rather than something specific to the RFC or the patch. So my dilemma is this: how do I voice this (without simply a drive-by -1 vote, which isn't really helpful either, and is overly discouraging to the people who've put a lot of work in to polish the feature up) without being shouted down for being unhelpful or uncivil? Adam, who isn't touching the rest of this discussion with a ten foot pole.
