If you think it's flawed, you know that the RFC process is there for anybody to change it. Joe already managed twice towards what you suggested in your stalled RFC: - https://wiki.php.net/rfc/abolish-short-votes - https://wiki.php.net/rfc/abolish-narrow-margins (btw, you voted against this one to raise the barrier from 50%+1 to ⅔rds). > It's absolutely fine to dislike short tags.

And retroactively changing rules because somebody don't agree with a decision is making a farce out of the process. So what's next? From what I understood, Nikita and George have spoken to take Nikita's implementation proposals forwards. I'm pretty sure that this will result in another RFC on which we then can vote. cheers, Derick -- https://derickrethans.nl | https://xdebug.org | https://dram.io Like Xdebug?
