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. -- Richard "Fleshgrinder" Fussenegger
