Same here :) > I do however want to point out that the problematic way the short array > syntax RFC was executed was the key reason that made me feel these updates > were in fact necessary - I don't think that the way it was done was exemplary > in any way... Well, it was done in a way without having an official way, so no, it was not perfect. > Pretty much each and every point in my email is based on things that I felt > went wrong with how we handled the short array syntax RFC: > > - There wasn't sufficient time, or nearly any time at all - between when > Brian pulled it off the attic, and when a vote was called.

As I agree on everything you wrote here, I don't feel like we need to redo it. The votes result is pretty clear, despite 2-3 people not willing to vote for whatever reasons: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/shortsyntaxforarrays/vote All votes happened again after the alternatives have been proposed or discussed. One would have voted against this RFC if any of the alternatives was better. Anyway, if enough people thinks they want to re do it (3rd time IIRC), so be it. > I'd still like to hear from others what they think about my proposal.
