I want to thank you for this RFC, for your time dedicated to it, for the actual implementation and everything. You have done everything correct and also the general idea i.e. removing these legacy tags in either PHP 8.0 or not was completely correctly pointed out and RFC (at least according to the current PHP RFC standards) met all the criteria to get into implementation step. Everyone who is working with PHP development knows that these short tags are not meant to be used anymore. Also everything was correctly accepted and the numbers are correct. This entire thread is also showing the integrity, intelligence level of the PHP a bit but one day maybe these legacy leftovers can be removed, hopefully... Because they really should. So let's not give up and let's find some normal solution here... RFC and results are quite clear but maybe Nikita's solution is good enough for all: - Deprecation warnings in PHP 7.4 (RFC criteria met, people here happy or not) - PHP 8.0 complete compile error without any option to further use them anymore (RFC criteria sort of met -!!!, and the reason of pretending that the legacy apps will work ok on PHP 8.0 also met) - Actual removal in PHP 9 (because this is then the logical next step). Removing something like this in PHP 8.1 is not following semantic versioning at all. Either removal in 8.0 or 9.0.
