Under the References section of the RFC, would you mind providing a link to the relevant mailing list discussion? I can't find the discussion, and I'd like to see what others have said about the proposal. I would consider this an editorial change, so it shouldn't affect the voting timeline (i.e., you don't need to stop the vote and restart it). According to the voting procedure rules, your voting announcement email must also include a link to the discussion thread. Again, simply replying here with the link should suffice. https://github.com/php/policies/blob/main/feature-proposals.rst#voting-procedure Cheers, Ben

Hi Jorg, The votes must also contain an "Abstain" option. Thank you, Ayesh.
