Hello all

I've noticed a trend in many threads here on the internals list where an RFC is 
being discussed, but one way or another we always end up with the same offtopic 
conversation about how PHP should evolve. While I think this is a good 
conversation to have, I don't think it's beneficial for the RFC process to have 
the same discussion happening over and over again, effectively having the RFC 
discussion hijacked by another one. I can only imagine it must be quite 
difficult for the people working on these RFCs to filter out ontopic from 
offtopic content.

Here are a few examples:

- Reclassifying engine warnings (https://externals.io/message/106713)
- Short open tags (https://externals.io/message/106384)
- Namespaced scope declares (https://externals.io/message/101323)
- Call-site send by ref (https://externals.io/message/101254)
- PHP 7.4 deprecations (https://externals.io/message/106012)

Maybe someone has a good suggestion on how people can voice their opinion on 
the future of PHP, without polluting several RFC discussions.

Kinds regards
Brent
