My original patch for return types did not allow return types for
ctors, dtors, and __clone. It seems you did not preserve this? In any
case no RFC is needed because this was outlined in the RFC:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/return_types#methods_which_cannot_declare_return_types

The only one that should allow anything for now is __toString which
would be permitted to declare a return type of string.
