I might be wrong, but I think someone tried, but was asked to revert the change soon after. I would also expect that people who have voting rights on the wiki are mature enough to vote based on their own knowledge and experience, and not only because someone else voted a certain way (or didn't). Speaking for myself if I don't have an opinion on some RFCs, I just avoid voting. About this specific RFC, are you trying to suggest that 7 is leading (49 vs 21 atm) because of the bandwagon effect and we should restart the vote? /me facepalm ;) Cheers -- Matteo Beccati Development & Consulting - http://www.beccati.com/
