There doesn’t seem to be anybody else clearly understanding the entire RFC and there are a lot of room for confusion for voters, PHP users and core maintainers. Maybe that’s inherent to a subject matter that indeed could be the biggest change to PHP since 7, but given RFC voting history, all signs point to a rejection vote. I don’t know how much has been discussed off list and/or how many voters are involved off list. At a very minimal, Async PHP would be interesting. A door to a new universe seems more fitting to describe its impact, but I don’t know how this RFC can be helped into a more likely successful outcome - or if my limited pessimistic view of its results are even valid concerns. >
