Thanks for the explanations. For 7.0 raising the precision INIs to max supported were probably OK, but no new INI options should be added. And IMHO, there should be only one INI option change, and preferably full patch with json_precision in 7.1 and not touching other branches (the simplest solution). As it seems, one sees it critical to start using 17 digits in 7.0 - then probably vote were eligible (whereby I wouldn't see it critical). But then IMHO - switch to serialize_precision in 7.0 and keep the name for 7.1 with full patch. Though please be aware that times are going fast, if you decide to put something 7.0 related to the vote, be sure the results stand till RC5. Regards Anatol
