Re: [php-src] PR #20903: GH-10497 (const obj->prop write) - language change notes

Hi all, Reviving this thread. The v0.2 RFC <https://wiki.php.net/rfc/const_object_property_write> (object property writes on constants only; array/dim writes removed) addressed Tim's concerns, and the 14-day cooldown has long passed. Unless there are further objections, I intend to open voting on Monday, 29 June 2026. 2/3 majority, targets PHP 8.6, two-week vote.
