The accessors proposal also had "the majority" in favor, but that did not suffice. As of now this RFC does *not* have a 2/3 majority for the delay. And, as I already pointed out, I really think that this RFC should go by a 2/3 vote, as it is both a very large change AND a release delay. But regardless of that, could somebody maybe point out where the "it may require a 1-2 month delay" estimation in the RFC comes from? Somewhere Rasmus said that the integration will not be tight and just a "30 minute cleanup". I guess that was a bit exaggerated and may take a bit longer, but in the same order of magnitude (like 3 hours instead of 30 minutes). By that estimate the vote ends today and we can have ZO+ bundled in one or two days. To let the change sink a bit, fix a few bugs that turn up and figure out some questions like naming and default configuration one may need another week, or maybe two. Then we should already be able to go for a beta release. Everything else can be ironed out later (it's just a beta after all and after that we have a good bit of time to fix issues that turn up). Or did I miss something? Nikita
