I agree that it would be nice sorting it out ASAP, but having the first alpha on may 15th isn't feasible anymore. I've created a vote about the RMs, this isn't something we used to do in the past for (s)electing the RMs, but seeing how we couldn't reach an agreement on the first round I think it would help sorting this out fast: https://wiki.php.net/todo/php70#vote Not sure that this should be a one or two week long poll, let's see what others think. -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
