With the introduction of function calls with named arguments in PHP 8.0, function parameter names are now a part of its signature: renaming a parameter is a potential compatibility break. We need to decide how that affects our stable interface policy.
Based on some informal discussions, the leading proposal is: *parameter names are not stable, unless documented otherwise*. Comments on this are welcome on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T397789 (votes with tokens on that task are also welcome, since we don't currently have a formal process for changing the stable interface policy, and I'd like to be sure that this actually has general approval).
