That wasn’t in Rowans suggestion, it was in Björn’s response to the original message. You’re
either not reading who wrote what before you reply, or you’re deliberately trying to imply a
person has advocated for something they never even mentioned.
Even *if* the consensus was to drop support for & references in php8 - thats a major new
