Re: [POSIX & Win32API] Getting the 'routing' informations

There was an informal survey a while ago about widening the
topicality guidelines. The majority opinion among those who
participated was that the narrow guidelines we've been trying to
follow should be kept. If you want to see the discussion, search
for the thread "Should we broaden the topicality of this group?",
started in late September 2007, and the summary post "Topicality
discussion - summary", posted October 2007.


Straw polls aren't used to elect because they have large bias in them. Voting
in the guideline discussion also isn't secret. It simply isn't a valid sample.
If the group wants a valid sample it will need to do a CFV and find a vote
taker. Otherwise it is all just hot air.
