The currently accepted interpretation is that all RFC votes must have started by March 15th, which is irreconcilable with an RFC that was only submitted today. Does this mean that we're delaying the PHP 7 schedule by two weeks? I feel like this topic is getting out of control. It's been discussed for months, now we had one vote on Andrea's withdrawn proposal, then another vote on Anthony's proposal, then another vote on the Zeev et al proposal - and then we're going to have another one on Bob's proposal? With every vote taking another couple of weeks. Hey, maybe I should also submit a STH proposal that we can vote on after that? If both Anthony's and Zeev's proposal fail, I would recommend to just drop this topic for 7.0 and discuss it again for PHP 7.1. The necessary forward-compatibility changes to allow that are already proposed in another RFC. Nikita
