To characterize it as "whining" is pretentious. The complaints against the 
incomplete and inconsistent immutability of PSR-7 have merit.

As one of the sponsors of PSR-7, I have come to regard its quasi-immutability 
as one of its main weaknesses, one that we of FIG should have (but failed) to 
predict would be more trouble than it was worth. The fewer people who use it, 
the better.
