I think it is ok to rally people for voting or making them aware that something will go through which they probably don't want to, and also ok to reconsider based and giving them reasons. But I think that prominent people like you should refrain from asking people to vote no while providing only generic/blanket statments ("morally wrong", etc.) because you are in a position where some people will just blindly follow what you say, and we should vote purely on the base on the technical merit of the proposed rfc, and not based on which sides has the more prominent people supporting it. I wish that were true but the numbers prove otherwise J Regardless, my ‘call for help’ was very much in context (even if terse), it wasn’t a ‘vote No because I say so’. It also followed a long online debate on internals@ where I expressed my opinion very clearly. I’d agree that ‘Vote X and get $500’, ‘Vote Y for a spot in heaven’, or ‘Vote Z because I say so’ are no-no’s.
