[Hannes Magnusson]

That mere hours after a major release and what will become historic
release you overwrite your own conference as the top entry so the
major release announcement gets hidden away.

I'd be great if you could still help the rest of the smaller
conferences that ask to be listed more actively though. It does matter
to them a great deal to be listed as early as possible, not a week or
two or even a month later.


You may put this as the second entry in archive.xml, but you will not
be the top entry during the initial hours, or first few days of the
release.
It is entirely inappropriate for anything to hijack this announcement.
Visiting http://php.net/foobar should result in the PHP7 announcement,
not link to your day job.

This has been very consistent behaviour over the years by conference
organizers, and I understand that you all try to time your
announcements during peak visiting hours to php.net, but this is not
cool. Knowingly or not, you need to do better.
