I find this comparison disingenuous. The changes to the Attribute Syntax wasn't a new feature, and started well before feature freeze. and only just missed it, and some of that time wasted was arguably due to not being able to count. The RFC on nullable intersections is a NEW feature, and was started a week after feature freeze had already happened. It was *not* a mistake as the feature was specifically introduced as "pure intersection types", as outlined in the RFC, and re-articulated by the author in an interview (https://phpinternals.news/88#transcript) cheers, Derick -- PHP 7.4 Release Manager Host of PHP Internals News: https://phpinternals.news Like Xdebug?
