In other words there was no public discussion whatsoever ;)
Well since we're are talking about the future direction of PHP, I guess
the question deserves some attention. I strongly disagree with this
approach of making PHP more "strict" and static. I really liked its
dynamicity and would not like to see it disappear under the pressure
from people who think Java or C++ (or any other langauge) are cool. For
me *PHP* is the cool language.
I would really like to hear what do PHP group members/core developers
think about this.

Mike has already demonstrated that the patch to implement this
particular feature is very simple:
