Hi!
Does that mean you want to take up a
- strict RFC-and-after-3months-discussion-before-commit policy
(i.e. killing the scratching-an-itch spirit of PHP)
- "I'm going to commit this patch tomorrow" mail to internals@
(i.e. killing "I need this functionality, maybe others do to" spirit of PHP)
Probably something like "I have this patch and I wrote this RFC, please discuss", then wait reasonable* time for discussion and reasonable* consensus before commit, and for reasonably* small patches "I'm going to commit it in 2 days unless somebody objects" would work
(*) I know definitions of "reasonable" differ but I have faith we find a common ground.
And which of Ilias patches are you referring to? The original one
(which is identical to the patch I sent in November 2006) or the
"fucking eyh, I need to please everyone so this can be in 5.3 - but
still got rejected" patch?
That's exactly why having RFC is good - one link solves all the questions about "which one is it' :)
