Thans for the RFC, Joe. I'm all for it, but maybe we should raise the bar even higher (say, 75% as suggested by Dennis), and perhaps also introduce a required minimum of votes (to avoid that a single yes vote could decide over an RFC). Anyhow, I would suggest to rewrite the introduction section – a PHP RFC should better be concerned with PHP only. :-) -- Christoph M. Becker
