The only way this will work is to vote if some scalar type hints should come in with 7.0 (with a 2/3 majority) and then have a 50%+1 vote on which of both proposals. Otherwise the chance for either passing 2/3 majority is virtually zero. Or you could create a three-way vote, both proposals together need 2/3 majority over no-votes and the proposals that gets more than the other is chosen. Greets Dennis
