Please do not create a separate PHP-8.0 branch yet. A separate branch is only needed if anyone wants to start landing changes targeting PHP 8.1 already -- as far as I'm aware, nobody is actively working on PHP 8.1 yet. Due to our git workflow, creating a branch now means that every single commit to PHP 8.0 will also require a merge into master. This is a rather big waste of time and CI resources if we expect PHP-8.0 and master to be identical in the near future. Thanks, Nikita
