Please find the RFC at:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/rfc_discussion_and_vote
And the PR at: https://github.com/php/policies/pull/23
If you followed along the discussion, you might've seen that Larry
offered to improve the phrasing of the policy for clarity. This has
happened now and I think Larry did a great job at improving the
structure of the policy text, while still using precise language and
preserving the intended semantics. He made some changes to the policy
as part of the rephrasing and I agree with them all. Specifically:
I just realized that the RFC text was not strictly following the latest
policy in the PR, the explanation of the voting widget was missing (“All
voting widgets on the RFC MUST include all relevant details for that
vote, as described in the "Required Majority" section below”). I have
just added that (“Primary Vote requiring a 2/3 majority to accept the
RFC:”) and will also make sure to include that in the RFC template,
should this RFC be accepted.
I'm treating this change to the RFC text as a “Minor change”, since it's
basically just clarification. It's implied by the existing policy that
the single voting widget is a primary vote and that it requires a 2/3
majority.
All that said, I'm happy to hear some feedback on whether or not the
updated phrasing is looking good to you? :-)
Best regards
