:::::::CycloneGU, read the rest of the page. The devs have indicated that they aren't going to develop it further unless there is a consensus that en.wp wants to keep it. —<font color="228B22">''[[User:Jéské Couriano|Jeremy]]''</font> <font color="00008B"><small><sup>([[User talk:Jéské Couriano|v^_^v]] [[Special:Contributions/Jéské Couriano|Hyper Combo K.O.!]])</sup></small></font> 04:59, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
::::::::My concern is more about the person who created the poll. We need an administrator to administer a fair poll for all users on a unique page. This entire page would take me about two days or more to read in full, and by then another hundred edits would be added.

:::::::::Fully agree with Cyclone. Just say no to yet more needless drama.

::::::::::And with such a large change, a lengthy discussion wears on users who have little time to read the whole thing. The poll can better help and organize a consensus.--[[User:NortyNort|NortyNort]] <small>[[User talk:NortyNort|(Holla)]]</small> 11:59, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
I understand the developers stance that further development is an exercise in futility unless consensus is firmly established. This because of the many improvements which have been instituted, to the apparent chagrin of those who oppose. The many inferences that changes were promised and not delivered is not entirely accurate. I have seen this tool changed since its inception on several fronts. It is faster to use than at first, the ability to reject changes is a new feature, and I am sure there are other improvements which I have missed. What I have not missed is that Pending Changes is in fact better now than when first released, and every reasonable expectation I can fathom is that if adopted by consensus, more improvements would follow. I also firmly believe the pros and cons of this level of protection are known and not much else will happen to sway the suggestion to keep or scrap PC. I think it is time to publish a proposal to commit or discard the program, with a clear yes/no agenda, and a concrete close date. Then I would only hope the prevailing side would be joined by the non prevailing side in accepting the results and truly moving forward. For my part, I have been here from the early stages and intend to be involved as long as the program operates. And whenever the binding consensus is published, my '''Support''' will be appended.
