I want to reiterate: "Internals votes down generics" is the absolute worst outcome, for literally everyone who cares about PHP. As we say in Chicago, "you don't call the vote until you know you have the votes." Right now, I don't think we have the votes. We need to take the time and do the work to get this *right*, and ensure not just passage, but broad support and endorsement, and the right tooling built on top of it. Voting on the current RFC right now will not get us there.
I'd like to second Larry's call for holding off on a vote and getting this right and ready for a PHP 9 release in 2027. Cheers, Ben
