If you enjoy reading my blog, you could consider supporting me on Patreon. If you're eligible to vote, or know someone who can: I want to ask you to take five minutes to read this, and to be clear up front: I want you to vote yes. Here's why from the point of view of a userland developer, both for client projects andopen source.

Now even if you, as an open source maintainer, don't want to take the responsibility of making sure argument names don't change between major releases, here's what you do: tell your users you won't actively support named arguments, and using them is at their own risk.

If you voted no and read this post, I'd like you to reconsider you vote, thanks!
