Hey, For people voting against the RFC, could you please explain your vote here so that we might understand? Cheers.
I think people were reasonably clear during the discussion. Having certain methods only available on an object depending on how it was initialized is just not a good idea.

As far as I know, no one volunteered to rewrite PDO to change that? I don't really understand that logic. Yeah the existing behaviour is not optimal. But there is no other solution right now. Should we also stop adding any feature to PHP because most PHP functions are named incoherently and we need to wait until all of them are renamed correctly? Hopefully not :) It might be years (or never) before that PDO behaviour is changed. In the meantime PHP will just be missing features that could have been provided, this sounds strange to me.
