===== Formal Decision =====
Assuming I have not missed anything (there were plenty of
off-topic in voting thread unfortunately), final stats are:
Voted total : 21
Yes : 11
Yes, If : 3
No : 7
Among voters all 3 members of D-Programming-Language GitHub
organizations voted "No".
Even all "Yes, If" votes will be counted as "Yes" overwhelming
agreement won't be reached. As was discussed earlier, inclusion
into standard library is matter too important to be decided by
simple majority.
Right now I am declaring this proposal as Rejected / Postponed.
===== Outcome =====
1)
Further course of actions highly depends on Brian intentions.
Everyone has agreed that such module is useful and needed in
Phobos so it is perfectly possible to modify actual
implementation according to review / voting comments and get back
into review queue. However, Brian has shown certain interest in
idea of more generic lexer proposed by Andrei and I don't know if
he is willing to push the current one.
2)
Whatever further decision is, I highly recommend to form current
`std.d.lexer` as dub package. I have recently had a discussion on
topic with Sonke Ludwig and adding package categorization is
currently one of priorities for dub registry.
Once it is implemented, `std.d.lexer` can be moved to moderated
`Phobos Candidate` category if Brian will be interested in
continuing to work in that direction.
3)
It has become clear that current review process leaves place to
uncertainity in case of more controversial proposals which makes
decision of Review Manager too impactful. I would be glad to see
Jesse Phillips (as someone both familiar with Boost process and
experienced in our reviews) to enhance current Review Process
definition with more formal rules for such cases. It should be
discussed and decided separately.
