Hello everyone,

First post here, so please be gentle and pedagogic with me if I am
misbehaviouring…

I am here for a pre-RFC feedback. It’s not coding related, but more about
convention.

I’m a follower of the french mailing list about php internals where we
discuss, chiefly thanks to Pascal Martin, where does the french php
community stand regarding RFC.

Now and then, debates about RFC on the mailing list are polluted by this
simple argument : “What!!!? That should not be done in minor version, but
go for major!”. (recently, it was triggered by this one:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/remove_utf_8_decode_encode)

With some pals of this mailing list, we came to wrote this draft of RFC:

objective : Write and follow a deprecation convention for PHP
draft : https://github.com/gorghoa/the-deprecated-rfc/blob/master/RFC.doku

tl;dr:  If it’s a BC, deprecate in next minor version unless it’s security
related

May we have your feedback on such proposal? Is it the right place to
discuss it?

Best regards,
