We're talking about different things here. PHP is an universal platform and PHP 7 would be offered as upgrade to all PHP users - running ZF1, ZF2, Symphony, Drupal, anything. If there would be a sizeable chance that their existing code would not run on PHP 7, people would not upgrade. Our upgrade record is not stellar as it is, even with extraordinary effort we put in keeping BC 5.4->5.6. If we break major libraries in 7, I am afraid we'd have adoption problem. ZF2 wasn't really an upgrade from ZF1 - nobody expected you to just jump from ZF1 to ZF2 on the same code. So it's not the point here, the point is that ZF2 is an example of major framework that uses the feature which this RFC proposes to break.
