Hello. > If the stated problems are a problem in practice or if they are mostly theoretical. Accidental retention of objects in unpredictable situations is a constant issue for applications that do not terminate after each request. > Possible solutions to the problems (such as the “WeakReference capturing of arguments”). As a rule, any error can be fixed, but that is not an argument in this situation. A developer can certainly solve a problem if they are aware of it. The issue is that if you rely on references, they might never even realize it exists :) The problem is not fixing the error, but how easy it is to detect it. > If the described problem even exists or if it is based on a misunderstanding of either the RFC > or PHP's existing behavior. Wasn’t the example above convincing? --- Best regards Ed
