I have a question, maybe it is dumb: why not those opposed to using annotations just... refrain from using them?
Annotations are currently used by the industry through workarounds to the PHP language, so any argument on it's usefulness is completely moot. Adding native support for this (no one says it is easy) is important for the advancement of the language, you already have your proof of concept out there, so there is really no discussing on whether they are a useful feature or not. Also, to maybe put things in better perspective and discourage visceral vote (because the topic will keep arising until the end of times, I'd bank on that) why not make a list of pros and cons to adding this to the language? Finally, I remember the lack of support for development has been a problem... so why not call out for support to the community?, from GSoC to PHP gurus litterate on Comp Sci and software engineering and architecture?
