We're not a democracy. We never have been one. anyone who thinks fedora
has been democratic hasn't been paying attention. Moreover it SHOULD NOT
be democratic. It should focus on the merits of the items involved.

So let's stop talking about voting on things. That way lies madness.

I'm not a php programmer and don't have any desire to learn. After years
of php exploits affecting  hundreds of programs I did everything I could
to disable php everywhere I encountered it.

Right and that's ALL I'm interested in.  The maintenance and the
security of the website.

I'm not asking anyone to step aside - but I am asking that we try to
focus on on languages and packages that have:

  1. programmers who use and develop on in the project.
  2. some history of a security infrastructure
  3. the package in fedora core or extras with an active maintainer.
