Hi,
Right. Introducing this change is not compatible with the release
process, whatever the result of the vote.
So, I respectfully ask you to change target to PHP 8 or explain why we
should make an exception to the process. Reasons you gave so far are OK
for a major version, but not for a minor one. This is not against you or
your work, as I'd also like to change such inconsistent behavior, but
the probability of BC break is too high, IMO.
Regards
François

Hi all,
I have just opened the vote on this RFC.
The main goal of the RFC is to eliminate the inconsistency in arrays when
negative numeric keys are used explicitly and the following implicit keys
will start from zero.
You can find the RFC here: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/negative_array_index
The previous discussion: https://externals.io/thread/712
And the PR (also some discussion): https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/2383
Voting is open from now until 20/6/2017 18:00 UTC.
I don't think that the current behavior makes much sense, but since it
is well documented and it isn't a bug, changing it in a minor version
wouldn't comply to our release process[1]. Therefore, I've voted
against, but I'd be happy to see this improvement in PHP 8.
