It looks like you changed the proposed PHP version from 8.6 to 8.5 on the same day you opened voting.[^1] IMO, this was at least a minor change (according to our Feature Proposals policy), which requires notifying the mailing list of the change and should have triggered a 7-day cool down before voting could begin.[^2] I appreciate the work you've put into this, and I agree with the need for this change, but I'm a little worried those who voted "yes" might not have noticed the proposed version change on the RFC from PHP 8.6 to PHP 8.5.

From a policy PoV this is interesting, because the incorrect version was noticed fairly quickly, but it was not noticed that the RFC recently changed. When that was noticed, the 7-day window to cancel the vote already expired, meaning there are now two conflicting policy violations. But since this issue was pointed out early on, I ultimately agree with the canceling of the vote. Best regards Tim Düsterhus
