Re: [sv-bc] E-mail Vote: Respond by Monday, May 11, 2009 8am PDT

Abstain on 1651
    Reason:  This was discussed explicitly at the time that
    $sformatf was created and was rejected.  While that would
    normally be cause for me to reject this, I appreciate the
    user concern about having to modify widely used code and
    will thus abstain.  I strongly dislike any suggestion that
    there are "legacy" issues at work as any "legacy" issue
    would be based on a single vendor's non-approved extensions.
    Although other vendor's may choose to mimic such extensions,
    I dislike that being used as the rationale to modify the LRM.

Yes on 1791 but with the friendly amendment that "sscanff"
    be corrected to "sscanf" (one "f").

Yes on 2611 but with a comment (repeated from the meeting) that
    I do not believe the LRM describes the reality of vendor
    implementations due to various extensions/interpretations
    of the LRM.  So as a pragmatic issue, I would advise readers
    to not take the port rules too seriously.  It is clearly
    beyond the time allotted to attempt to come to real
    agreement among the vendors.

Yes on 2720 but with a comment that if ballot issue 9 / Mantis 2663
    is addressed then this will be resolved indirectly.


Yes on the remainder.
