Re: Voting periods

I also disagree with an open-ended voting period. I'm fine with having a long voting window, but when a vote is called it should declare when the voting will end. This just makes sense to me. Since we're on the topic of voting, I also want to bring up that 50% + 1 is actually pretty low for something that doesn't modify the core. For instance, suppose that the voting on an RFC ended with exactly a 50% + 1 vote in favor of adding the feature. That means that half of the people who voted did not want it to go through. That seems like a problem to me; half of the people were against it yet it is accepted and introduced to the language? Maybe I'm used to working in councils that require near unanimity, but 50% + 1 seems very, very low. If we're going to revisit voting, can we re-discuss this as well?
