I'm not entirely sure that a backwards compatibility break in a minor release would be considered non-controversial.
While this change is pretty trivial, both technically and syntactically, I'm unsure why there even is an RFC process in place if it's going to be ignored because it's "too much trouble". I was also under the impression that RFCs exist to get comments which on a particular subject - which may or may not include nitpicking because what may be a small issue to some people could be a large issue to others. It's been shown previously where this could be used and could cause code that previously executed to not execute which seems like a problem. I see this as a bad design choice in the language which should be rectified... just in a major version. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
