I've started a draft here: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/min_supported_versions_php_8_6. I have a few things to note: - I wasn't sure how to approach the merger of the two topics. I decided to model this like the various deprecation RFCs, in that we're deciding on a slate of minimum supported software for PHP 8.6. - Ideally, if people objected to the MySQL minimum version for persistent connections, I'd be able to include a vote that allowed for an INI setting. - Related to that: I'm not sure how much detail to add about the actual implementation I'd like for persistent connections. Is this a vote for my specific implementation, or just the higher-level concept of requiring a certain version of software in PHP 8.6? My goal is to ship this, so needing to do two RFCs back-to-back would be annoying. Feel free to respond privately if you'd like to take this off-list. Thanks!
