I'm not completely sure about others in this thread, but my personal view is that PHP 5.7 should be released at around the same time as PHP 7. It should contain E_DEPRECATED warnings where applicable, such as proposed in the multiple default arguments RFC. I've also heard talk of removing some features in PHP 7 that are currently E_STRICT; in this case we would also move them to E_DEPRECATED in PHP 5.7.
In summary, I think PHP 5.7 should primarily contain deprecations to ease the transition to 7, and should not take significant resources away from PHP 7. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
