It looks like you changed the proposed PHP version from 8.6 to 8.5 on
the same day you opened voting.[^1] IMO, this was at least a minor
change (according to our Feature Proposals policy), which requires
notifying the mailing list of the change and should have triggered a
7-day cool down before voting could begin.[^2]
I appreciate the work you've put into this, and I agree with the need
for this change, but I'm a little worried those who voted "yes" might
not have noticed the proposed version change on the RFC from PHP 8.6 to
PHP 8.5.
From a policy PoV this is interesting, because the incorrect version was
noticed fairly quickly, but it was not noticed that the RFC recently
changed. When that was noticed, the 7-day window to cancel the vote
already expired, meaning there are now two conflicting policy
violations. But since this issue was pointed out early on, I ultimately
agree with the canceling of the vote.
