Excuse my ignorance (presumably about the complexity involved) if
this is obvious, but if out/inout parameters are considered to be a
better solution for the problem references generally solve (I don’t
doubt that they are, even as a user of references), why is that
inherently a “long term” goal? Is it not a feasible goal for next
years release?

To replace current PHP way of handling parameters is for sure a
long-term goal, just imagine the BC break...
To introduce out/inout parameters without phasing out references
is probably a shorter goal to accomplish.

PS I meant "replace current PHP way of handling reference parameters".
