Hello,
I would like to propose a new process RFC for updates to PHP release cycle:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/release_cycle_update
> Extending security support by one year
+1
> Allowing recent regression fixes during security support
As regression are often discovered quickly, 12 months is perhaps too
much. BTW, such fix will need RM approval, so
+1
> Disallowing new features completely in RC and bug fixing release
+1
With RM exception
> Allow feature that do not require RFC in beta
+1
With RM approval
> Reduce number of RC to 4
Yes pre-release cycle is long
But RC time is used by other project for test/fix
especially for pecl extension to fix compatibility
IMHO 4 months seems fine for minor version (e.g. 8.4)
but not enough for major version (e.g. 9.0)
> The changes will apply immediately on the all currently supported
branches from PHP-8.1.
> It means that PHP-8.0 would get an extra year of security fixes if
that proposal is accepted.
Hmm... this sentence is ambiguous ;)
Should be 8.1 for both, right ?
