Hi everyone,
For my own reasons, I have decided to cease my involvement with PHP
development. This isn’t a judgement of the PHP community nor the internals
mailing list, you’re all wonderful people and it’s really been a pleasure, and
I mean that completely honestly. However, this has ended up taking up too much
of my time (which is my own fault, and my own fault alone) and I can’t really
justify it to myself anymore.
So, I’m no longer contributing to PHP, and all four active RFCs authored by
myself are therefore withdrawn: Scalar Type Hints, Spaceship/Combined
Comparison Operator, Void Return Type, Big Integer Support.
The first two were in voting, so the votes have been cancelled.
If anyone would like to pick up from where I left off with any of these RFCs,
they are very much welcome to - there is no need to consult me first (and it’s
probably for the best if you don’t). The Spaceship/Combined Comparison Operator
RFC was also authored by Davey Shafik, so ask him if you want to revive that
one.
I’m sorry about this, but it can’t be helped. I’d rather move on to other
things. I would stick around to finish everything up before I leave, but I just
don’t have the time nor the motivation to finish everything. I apologise for
that, especially for Scalar Type Hints as I realise this is something a lot of
developers were looking forward to.
I’d leave quietly, but since this affects active RFCs, I need to announce it
somewhere.
So, thank you, PHP community. It has been a wonderful 2 years.
Goodbye.

Thank you for being a responsible software developer. Not many
developers are this forward and honest about their intentions/plans.
