I don't mean to discredit/reduce/invalidate the work/efforts that developers working with Fibers encounter, but my point is that if you're using Fibers without knowing it, then any inner problem of Fibers do not mean anything to you as the developers providing the library/functionality will have to find ways to avoid exposing an API with broken behavior. Whether today or 1 year from now 100% of PHP code will be taking advantage of Fibers or not is irrelevant to this discussion. -- Marco Deleu
