I think this is a good topic for discussion, and we could talk about
the pros and cons of a “nightly” build.
I could explain how early product delivery improves code quality.

It's OK!
But at least I would know that the PHP community truly wants to make
the language asynchronous. I still don’t understand the answer to that
question. It seems to me: no.
We could probably include a vote in this RFC on three core principles:
* concurrency
* transparent asynchronicity
* cancellation
to see how many people support them. If more than one third vote
against it, then we can safely stop trying to change anything.
