In my humble opinion, if your only "argument" is a -1, the don't be part of
the discussion, but
rather be a vote when (and if) the RFC goes to a vote.
There are 2 moments to express yourself: the discussion, the vote.
In the discussion phase I believe opinion should be expressed with solid
concerns. Performance issues, bad syntax, is it relevant or not, etc.
A simple "i don't like it" does not add, so it can be ommited.
The voting is where you can simply say: i don't want this regardless of the
syntax
intent or how many unicorns it provides.
That is what i do.
