Re: [RFC] [VOTE] Make constructors and destructors return void

Hey, Most of the internals who voted no, as far as I know, did so due to subjective reasons (i. e. don't want to allow declaring constructors/destructors as void). I don't think that should affect on what you believe is a change for better or for worse. As I mentioned before, it doesn't make much sense to allow __clone to be declared as void and make constructors/destructors an exception. As for the BC break, yes, only people who return something from a constructor/destructor are in trouble and will get a deprecation warning in PHP 8.0.
