This is counter productive, because the current rule is: don't use anything, or mention anything, third party. And we're in 2024 now and nobody writes PHP code without Composer. Without this change, we can't use any composer available library for PHP.NET sites, nor even mention it in the documentation. That's bonkers. Also, requiring the PHP properties not never use anything third party makes everything so much more of a pain for us. I strongly recommend you change your opinion on this. cheers Derick
