I just voted on the next release name <https://wiki.php.net/rfc/php6>. If you have, too: thank you. If you haven't, I encourage you to do so.
The way voting works now, I happen to know which option is "winning". I happened to know that *before* I cast my vote. The current results are posted on the RFC, and the same information percolated into emails encouraging folks to vote. I wonder, though, if knowing which was "leading" and who chose which "side" affected my vote.... I propose that a poll's results tabulation be hidden until after the poll closes to avoid this Bandwagon Effect <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwagon_effect>. Otherwise, how do we know the vote reflects just the presented arguments instead of the arguments *and* the weight of popularity? Sincerely, bishop
