[TCLCORE] Re: TIP 5 VOTE

[John O. <ou...@aj...>]

Eric hasn't yet sent out the official reminder that voting has
started for TIP 5, but I'd like to cast my vote anyway:

Yes

I'd also like to explain briefly my vote.  Before Eric posted the
TIP he passed it around inside Ajuba and I discussed it with him.
Initially I had the same concern that George did; I didn't like the
additional complexity of the new API.  However, after discussion
it seemed plausible to me that additional callbacks might be added
in the future, and that the new APIs would make this much easier.
In the end, I was ambivalent between the two API choices.  At that
point I decided to apply a principle that I intend to use in all my
TCT votes:

PRINCIPLE: if I am ambivalent about a particular design decision, or
disagree only slightly, then I will defer to the proposer.  I will
use "no" votes only in areas where I think a big mistake is about to
be made.
