Discussion about RFC's would have taken place at php-dev, of course. For the rest of your arguments, you're right, as long as it goes about minor issues. But I believe it is not true when it comes to really heavy issues, such as syntax of private object-vars (just an example). The question is now, is it worth the effort of a complete RFC process for that, or would a mere formalization of the important discussions, as you suggest, do? On the other hand, the latter one could be named 'RFC process', since it hasn't yet been defined what the heck it is precisely... > - James Jeroen
