Reading the actual rules, it seems pretty clear cut that moving this to a vote would be a violation of those rules. I'm not a lawyer, or even a frequent visitor to Internals, but this seems like the worst possible time to debate those rules. As is usually the case, such rules get their stress test at stressful times when the temptation to suspend them is greatest, and this obviously qualifies as a stressful time with a contest between ideologies that threaten to sink any attempt to bring scalar type hinting to PHP. The very notion that this might even be remotely possible is also polluting opinion and the chances of either RFC currently in voting passing. The timing, on the eve of when the first RFC into voting would typically end, also looks fantastical. The hint that the rules can be suspended, bent or otherwise driven around, frankly stinks and looks like politics gone wild. And yes, appearances are actually quite important. Are there any other rules waiting to be unilaterally suspended? I guess we'll see...
