I want to suggest that we do not allow any RFC implementations to land
during beta phase. In my opinion, the remaining time to thoroughly
check and address possibly overlooked issues is way too short
otherwise.
FWIW, there was a recent RFC to clarify what is acceptable in which
phase of the release process. Given that you did not vote there, I
believe you might have missed it:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/release_cycle_update
While I agree with Bob that by disallowing the RFC implementation during
the Betas would make Betas and RCs effectively identical. Nevertheless I
would like to see RFCs with a large impact voted on (and implemented)
*well before* the feature freeze, as the recent history required
following up with another RFC multiple times (e.g. Random Extension in
8.2, BCMath objects in 8.4, Property Hooks in 8.4). Asymmetric
visibility being voted on shortly before the freeze made me a little
uneasy for that reason.
