I would like to flag one thing about how my earlier message is being
used here, separate from whether I agree with what you've said.
I neither have the authority nor the standing to advise the very
people who maintain this lanaguage on what they should do about a
policy/governance issue, especially on something that could very
easily waste their time and effort.
What I actually offered was an observation about a pattern I'd noticed
recur over the months, a question about it, and my two-cents answer to
that question.
I'd rather that stayed a question people could take or leave, not a
suggestion that is seeking support or trying to avoid opposition.

Thank you... And FWIW I do think this is a genuine conversation about
improving PHP.
Best,
