I am sorry to say, but this RFC seems to be mostly to have a 'purity' argument behind it. The RFC also does not seems to include an analysis of the impact. I can almost guarantee you that this is going to 'break' (by a deprecation warning?) a lot of code. Even the changes made for symfony seem non-trivial, and easy to get wrong (https://github.com/symfony/symfony/pull/60890/files). But we don't know, as there is no data on this — that's why I feel that this is not a mature enough RFC. cheers, Derick
