Hello internals, I am retracting this vote: I opened it prematurely, in violation of the voting prerequisites in the Feature Proposals policy. I did not post an Intent to Vote message at least two days in advance, and today's 1.0 update to the RFC text is a Minor change announcement, which starts a seven-day Cooldown Period during which no vote may be called.
The voting widgets are closed, and the RFC is back to Under Discussion. The RFC text itself is unchanged and I consider it final. I will post a proper Intent to Vote in the discussion thread and reopen the vote once the Cooldown Period has passed, on or after July 30. The reopened widgets will be retitled per the policy so that no stale votes carry over. On timing: a fourteen-day vote opened on July 30 closes right at the August 13 feature freeze for PHP 8.6, and the beta1 tag lands on August 11, so any merge would happen during beta in any case. I will coordinate with the 8.6 Release Managers on whether inclusion in 8.6 is still possible under RM approval. If it is not, I will retarget the RFC to PHP 8.7 and announce that change before reopening the vote. Apologies for the noise. Seifeddine, Cheers.
