"Even if we were to push the timeline out by a bit, how do we do it?" This is ~"My approach hasn't won yet, and instead of conceding default due to democracy in action, I would like to change the process. I am not insulting you. I am not attacking you. But this is some bizarre stuff that is more than sneaky, and you really need to stop. One RFC has won. Another RFC has lost. A third RFC is a backup plan and nothing more. Let the winning RFC win and lets get on with something else, because today is the feature freeze and you don't get to manipulate that to suit your own needs just because you want to. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
