To an outsider, it looks wild when feedback starts coming in right

people with voting rights who have never participated in the

outcome. I sincerely hope Ilija and Larry's work don't go to waste here.

Clearly those of us who agreed with the approach and wanted the RFC and
planned to vote to approve things should've been more vocal about that.
Don't take silence to be apathy - email is often the worst medium for a
deep discussion and "ditto" doesn't add to the discourse.
I for one will try to be more vocal since apparently what I thought was
noise is apparently necessary signal here.
Is the feature complex? Yes. Is it overly complex? No. As a developer
who has hand-rolled custom getter/setter behavior for years this will
save a mountain of time (and would've removed nearly half of the code I
once had to write for a very complicated WordPress feature). I love the
approach and wholeheartedly support the direction here. The similarity
to C# and Kotlin structures should lower the cognitive burden here as well.
