I can explain you that very easily: there are known instances where CoCs were used and even more instances where there were attempts to use CoCs and CoC-like structures exactly for that. It's not a concern because people think it *might* happen, it's a concern because it *already happened* elsewhere and people think it also might happen *here*. > I also fail to understand how one can fail to accept that we already had > and have issues, despite numerous people having experienced it. That's because nobody does that. Instead, the question is whether the specific proposal is helpful to fix specific issues. The conversation goes like this: A: here's solution X! B: for what? A: for problem Y B: but do we have problem Y? Also, X does not seem to solve Y and also introduces problem Z A: we can solve Z easily! Also, here's proof problem Q exists. B: but Q is not Y. And we didn't see Y exists so far. And your solution to Z sounds iffy. A: why you keep denying problem Q exists?! > create a somehow useful CoC.

As I note again, talking about abstract "having problems" as an argument to do a specific thing is not very useful. > As a side but important note, it is very disturbing to read so many of us > denying the very issues we have.

First of all, asking for proof and denying is different thing (though people often confuse the two, but these *are* different). Second, "very issues we have" is, again, very unspecific thing, so it's not even possible to deny it. Before I could even deny that "these problems exist" - or before you claim I or anybody else does - I'd like to know what exactly are "these problems" in specific terms. Because some of the problems were almost unanimously recognized, some was not, so it's not clear what parts we are talking about. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
