Just replying on the anonymous RFC votes side-topic.

That's another question. Ideally, votes should be anonymous, even on

RFCs. Scalar type hints have proved that seeing other's vote may be a very bad thing.

This was tried once [1] and there was an immediate knee-jerk reaction [1] which resulted in quickly removing the feature. Maybe the winds have changed between then and now?

The reaction was mostly caused by the fact that the change had been introduced without prior discussion. Once again, in the light of the recent STH votes, I think we have good reasons to re-evaluate Hannes' arguments :

- The author of the RFC can no longer bribe and "convince" individual person to change his/hers vote - Your vote is more meaningful now, as it could actually be the winning vote

- First 5 votes one way? No point in voting the other way (or at all) - Last minute twitter "lets all vote yes/no to change the vote around" doesn't work - The "I just wanna be in the winning/loosing team" is difficult
