Re: Adding new closing tag =?> for keeping trailing newline

Hello! I asked for opinions on reddit also. https://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/v5le6h/adding_new_closing_tag_for_keeping_trailing/ Popularity on reddit and acceptance by people with voting rights on internals can be different, but it seems that, at least in its current form, this proposal would have a hard time winning the vote. Until I can come up with a stronger persuasion or a nicer way of doing this, I don't feel it has a chance to win, so I'm withdrawing from this proposal for now and going to work on something else.
