Next Tuesday, Sep 15th, has been marked on my calendar as the branch date for PHP-8.0 which would open master up for 8.1 targeted work.
This would mean that bug fixes would need to include PHP-8.0 in their merge chain (meaning more work to merge 8.0 targeted fixes). Please let Gabriel and I know how you feel about this date. I can see that master is still quite active, and I don't wish to make the work to stablize the 8.0 release any more difficult than it has to be. -Sara
