Hi,

We do not have a formal project steering committee and decision making rules, but given the good discussion that has taken place, I think it is time to take a decision. I'd suggest we proceed with a majority vote with all people that want to cast their votes, with the voting period open until end of week.

Motion 1:

Require compiler with C99 support to build libtiff

Motion 2 (requires Motion 1 to pass):

Allow use of C99 data types in libtiff API instead of custom [u]intXXX typedefs, thus requiring code using libtiff to have C99 build capabilities (will cause a API and ABI breakage)

Candidate implementation for both by Roger Leigh at:
        https://gitlab.com/rleigh/libtiff/-/commits/require-c99

My vote:
Motion 1: +1
Motion 2: +1
