Some people may not want to wait for PHP 6 so they should be allowed to vote for PHP 5.7 if they consider the BC issues surmountable in a minor release. 3. If a PHP 6 schedule doesn't finalize soon, then merging the 64-bit changes to PHP 5.7 may be the only way forward. -- christopher.jones@oracle.com http://twitter.com/ghrd Free PHP & Oracle book: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/php/underground-php-oracle-manual-098250.htmlI look forward to a quick vote on whether to include it in PHP 5.7 or PHP 6.0.I do not think it is worth the effort to try it for 5.7. I have to say it is hard to understand how you can think about 5.7 as well. Or are the changes not so big? Jokes apart, given the results 6 will be the target. That follows the arguments against this RFC and we seriously hope that everyone will participate earlier and will not bring the same arguments. Cheers, Pierre
