This starts the voting phase for the RFC “Add BackedEnum::values()”.
The start of the vote is very surprising to me. I did not feel that a 12
email-discussion was sufficient to properly evaluate a long-term plan
that stretches until PHP 9.0.
It is also in violation of the policy, which requires the discussion to
be recent (the last email in the discussion thread is from 53 days ago,
which requires a 7 day cooldown after a restart of the discussion) and
also an last call “Intent to Vote” announcement (at least 2 days before
the vote) to make sure that the RFC is fresh in the minds of the voters:
https://github.com/php/policies/blob/main/feature-proposals.rst#discussion-phase
I'm also noticing that you made a number of significant changes
(including increasing the version number) to the RFC text just today
which folks did not yet have the chance to review and discuss before the
vote:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/add_values_method_to_backed_enum?do=diff&rev2%5B0%5D=1763285697&rev2%5B1%5D=1768720119&difftype=sidebyside
… all while there still are “Open Issues” listed in the RFC. These
should be resolved before the vote.
I therefore request the vote to be canceled for now and discussion
restarted based on the updated version 1.2 of the RFC.
Best regards
Tim Düsterhus
