I agree that we're pretty late to the party, however I see typed properties being a pretty central feature to the PHP 7.3 feature set then, just because of its size. I think it may be worth pushing the release of 7.3 a few weeks back instead, if we decide to have this feature make it into PHP 7.3. The current feature set of PHP 7.3 is pretty small, and I consider it a good idea to see how typed properties play out in 7.3 before we consider other typesystem improvements. Waiting a year more would give us less insight into what people are still missing and wishing for. Thus I don't consider it a very good idea to be too conservative here. An other option would be though, to include a secondary vote "7.3, 7.3 and a little delay or 7.4". Bob
