It's hard to see how that would be any more or less random than now, given that it would still be a question of votes or consensus. Presumably, features would not be removed (unless they were bad for the language) and so they would still make it into LTS releases - the next one up. Anyway, I'll stop it here, as I doubt I'll convince you of anything (and vice versa). Just one thing to add: thanks for the work on PHP :) Much appreciated.
