I love that The PHP Development Team is not looking to rush a release and while I, like many others wish to see PHP 7.0 I would rather have a stable and solid release over the idea of a rushed release. So I commend the choice of releasing another RC (RC7) coming up in the next few days
There appears to be some concern though surrounding the holidays and that is understandable. I would like to recommend that if all matters are not resolved by November 26 (the new suggested date), that perhaps it may be better to wait until the start of 2016 after the holidays. This would give plenty for the development to proceed without being rushed to release and perhaps relieve any holiday stress. In any case, thank you for your time, effort, and hard work and dedication. It is very much appreciated.
