This is not an official answer. I don't have time to dig out references. I believe the PHP community settled on the idea of having a single simple pass / fail vote without the complexity of branches / options. It was simply to hard to tally the votes once you open up the options, because your support base ends up being split. NOTE: See current US Republican Primaries for examples of how complex it gets. :-) There is nothing to stop one from drafting multiple proposals, with alternative options, and each one getting vote upon, other than the time available to the person drafting the proposals. And, of course, a reasonable expectation that with TOO many proposals of the same idea, the community would quickly turn into robo-voting, both for and against, as that's just human nature. Again, I say, I don't claim to speak for the whole community. This is merely my interpretation from my faulty memory of past events. -- brain cancer update: http://richardlynch.blogspot.com/search/label/brain%20tumor Donate: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=FS9NLTNEEKWBE -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
