Hi, well... what I wanted to have a look at a year ago, was too many false positive "mirror broken" messages going through, and as far as I know that has gotten a lot better over the year already. Additionally my day job tends to eat more time nowadays than anticipated... So, thanks for asking,

@Larry, I see your point, but when I said 'identity', I was thinking about referential identity, not wether that object has identity in the user application. Cheers On Nov 19, 2016 7:15 PM, "Larry Garfield" wrote: > I'm not Paul, but... > > If you have a data storage system using CRAP (Create R

Afternoon Zeev, It first seemed like a very simple question to abolish 50%+1 votes, it quickly become apparent that this is not viable in any sense. Maybe I should have spotted that it wasn't sensible, maybe Pierre did and thought I was crazy, maybe Pierre thought I had spotted it but didn't care

Afternoon Zeev, I am not sure how much of the voting RFC I want to reform right now. I am responding to specific problems that seem to be best fixed just by raising the acceptance criteria. I do realize that these issues are difficult to tease apart however, so intend to at least try to suggest re

Hey Internals, Sorry if this isn't the correct thing to do, I was just hoping to raise some awareness for a PR I opened last year: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1280 It's a very simple and small addition, is it possible get it merged for 7.2, or do I need to raise an RFC for it? Thanks, Cr
