Code that nobody wants to touch can just use PHP LTS and PHP project could focus on programmers and actively developed projects. > Whether it's a fork or LTS - this is a *radical* duplication of effort. Bigger than creating P++ and having two different and competing languages? I highly doubt. Also, the LTS line could (and probably should) be sponsored. For example, most of BC breaks does not seem to be a problem for OSS. This is mostly a problem for companies with big and legacy applications, who don't want to spend money on upgrading them. If BC breaks are really such a big problem for thousands of companies, there should be no problem to find founders to pay ~1 developer for maintaining LTS line and backporting security fixes.
