Again this was mainly me replacing the not-so-convincing case for PHP 7 (that's how these two paragraphs were referred to when they were added, after my complaints about the RFC being one sided PHP 6 only, you can check the archives) with a more convincing one. But I'm of course fine with them being re-added if the proponents of 6 it helps illustrate the case. I do think that it was a bit problematic that when I asked to restart the vote it was rejected, but as the vote leaned heavily towards 7 (it was 25 to 15 right before it was stopped, with 7 gaining very rapidly) - it was done. But, I don't view it as a huge deal. > As such I can understand Andrea's decision to close this vote until tempers > had time to cool down and both sides had a chance to be fairly represented. As I said weeks ago, I think we need the best case for 6 and the best case for 7, and put it up for a vote. I would appreciate it if we didn't wait indefinitely for that, after spending much of my morning getting shouted at for frantically typing this RFC up instead of getting my daughters to kindergarten :) Zeev -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
