Note that all votes are important, but only a signal to Guido about our individual feelings on the matter. Every single person on this list could vote -1, and Guido can still implement the feature (at his peril :-). Conversely, we could all vote +1 and he can refuse to implement it. In this particular case, your -1 vote says that you really dislike this feature. Great. And you've provided a solid explanation why. Even better! Now, people can respond to your vote and attempt to get you to change it. This is goodness because maybe you voted -1 based on a misunderstanding or something unclear in the proposal (I'm talking general now; I don't believe that is the case here). After explanation and enlightenment, you could change the vote. The discussion about *why* you voted -1 is also instructive to Guido. It may raise an issue that he hadn't considered. In addition, people attempting to change your mind are also providing input to Guido. [ maybe too much input is flying around, but the principle is there :-) ] Basically, we can call them vetoes or votes. Either way, this is still Guido's choice :-) Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
