I actually think this list has shown a lot of maturity by not adding annotations to PHP (yet). I encourage people to read what Joshua Bloch had to say about adding Generics to Java 5 in a book called Coders at Work [1]. To paraphrase: major additions to a complex system need to really be thought out. Annotations are a major addition and PHP is already a very complex system.
