Hello, first of all, thank you for the RFC but this is a big no-no for me. Your arguments as to why it's "okay" to make a BC break doesn't make a lot of sense given the huge "genericness" of the keyword "guard". Laravel's authentication system is used across thousands of projects (if not more) and you can look that up using a simple GitHub search. In fact, even in our internal codebase (our team's, not PHP's) we use it. So, it's plausible that many closed-source projects use it as well.
