Zeev, I think you underestimate the problem. The hinting (or whatever is the name of this pointless thing) is the least of the problems we have right now. To think that one guy considered that he is allowed to decide to fire a 5.4, announce it, all that without a single discussion in the public list is really bad. Even worst is that nobody actually even tries to say that it is not acceptable. And it happened more than once already. Yes, I sound and I am negative. Because it is a huge step backward for the PHP project. And I seriously think that it won't end well if we continue to act like that.
