Although probable PHP RFC's won't be as complex as IETF RFC's, I still
think the main problem is that almost every developer hates it to write
docs. Doc writing is the most worse thing of software developing, I think
most people will agree with me on this.
However I think the whole RFC will lurk up too much of our precious time.
The idea may be good, but I don't think it will work out as it is intended
to be.
