I can see where this comes from (avoid herd effect?), but I don't think it's a good idea. I can't even see votes on my own RFCs, so I don't know how things are going and if there are still issues. Also this prevents the "vote reason" column that was suggested in several recent discussions. That would seem like a much more valuable change than just removing the votes.

I really don't like this. This isn't politics or elections, this is PHP. We have completely open mailing list discussions, where you can see people's opinions. I see no reason to hide people's votes. Secret ballots are useful where privacy is particularly important. I don't see why this is really desirable here, considering we do *everything else* in the open! -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
