Whether or not officially announced; I can count roughly 14 threads 
discussion various aspects of it. The earliest one seems to have been 
started around April 28th 
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/php-fig/z3R9hfQ-QMQ/ipiZ5U3zCQAJ>. That's 
at least 3½ months of discussion relating to the proposal currently being 
voted on. 

I see this thread going one of two ways:

   1. None of the discussion threads included the text "this begins the 
   customary 2 weeks of discussion before a vote can take place". The vote 
   should therefore be considered invalid.
   2. The topic has been discussed enough to satisfy the 2 weeks bylaw, and 
   the vote should continue. Whether or not the outcome will be in favour of 
   the restructure (and it doesn't look likely at this stage) or not is not 
   part of the consideration. Whether or not the concerns with the current 
   state are valid (and to me they seem to be) are not part of the 
   consideration. 

Do we railroad the vote because nobody said "there's a vote in 2 weeks", or 
let it be seen that there are real concerns which should be addressed, by 
letting it go to completion? I personally feel like it would be supremely 
pedantic to argue in favour of #1 at this point. It detracts from the 
technical arguments against the restructure to say; this is why the vote 
should not pass.

My read on the situation may be flawed, and I'm not a voting member. Bear 
these in mind as you think about what is mostly my personal opinion.

Kind regards
Chris
