I think it's reasonable to assume >50% by default, unless the source clarifies what they mean by "mostly".
- Orygin 2mo agoIt's reasonable not to assume what they meant. They have a clear stance on the subject instead of letting us guess
- KingOfCoders 2mo agoTo me majority != mostly.
- oneeyedpigeon 2mo agoI agree that they have different connotations. However, in the absence of other information, I don't see how we could ever collectively agree on a better value. The least subjective option, as far as I'm concerned, is "more than 50%". If a is 50.001 and b is 49.999, then a is the one with the most, not b.
- cassianoleal 2mo ago>50% of words? Characters? LoC? Files?
- oneeyedpigeon 2mo agoYeah, this is the bit where it really falls down, regardless of how you define "mostly"!
- jazzypants 2mo agoHow would anyone ever be able to arbitrate this? It's an unenforceable policy if you actually care about fairness.
- anticorporate 2mo agoI suspect rather than posting whataboutisms that it would be more useful to adhere to the spirit of the rule rather than asking how close you can get to violating it without actually getting kicked off.
