I think a public voting system is not a good thing (though the idea
appealed me in the first place) - but I was convinced that it would lead
to vote without discussion.
For "listening to the user base" I originally had a headline "Discussion
on the Web" were I refered to some blog posts covering that topic.
Actually someone removed it by "Discussion on the List".

PHP is about building on the knowledge and experience of the typical
target user. This target user changes slowly as we all get older and
the industry we are in changes and we need to recognize that and adapt
the language appropriately. What is appropriate is of course a really
hard call which is what this is all about.
My first concern about the [] debate is no one is really asking what the
users want? Where did the [] requirement or proposal come from? There's no
doubt in my mind that a [] synthax is something most users would want. The
similar array declaration to javascript also further reinforces the use of
PHP for web based programming.
Finally, having a public voting system would definitely help gain more
insight as to what users want.
