Hi all, Occasionally a change for PHP 8 is suggested and rejected because of it being too disruptive compared to PHP 7.4. This is unfortunate because it means we succeed less in seizing the opportunity to get language improvements into the 8.x series.
In a recent thread about fixing a problem related to optional / required parameters Gert (gert...@gmail.com) suggested a PHP 7.5 release for deprecations only. I like this idea as it gives us a viable migration path for changes that currently cannot be done in 8.0. The 7.5 release could be published when PHP 8 enters feature freeze. Until then, deprecations warnings and notices can be accumulated in 7.5 as part of the PHP 8 development process. RFCs that target PHP 8 can include changes to 7.5 to sketch a viable migration path.
