Hi Tim, As I already told you, you should proceed step by step. Implementing immutable properties *and* removing constants is just a too big step. And, IMO, one may pass, while the second one has no chance, especially if you propose to remove PHP constants as well as class constants, without a BC layer. Unfortunately, while we can sometimes break BC, we are not designing from scratch.
Now, if you want to link both features and withdraw the whole, that's your choice, and none will blame you for that. You were asking for opinions that's only mine.
