It does not loose relevance just because the implementation is
postponed. On the contrary, we could directly start advertising that
change, which is super useful to the PHP ecosystem because they can
prepare their code for the change.

The change you are proposing is absolutely necessary, and it is a great
initiative of yours! :)

However, the possibility of introducing this kind of change in a minor
is dangerous. I am usually against almost all of these changes, but in
favor of deprecation to fix more of these unexpected features.
