we tend to interpret "For these reasons, a feature affecting the language
itself (new syntax for example) will be considered as 'accepted' if it wins
a 2/3 of the votes. Other RFCs require 50% + 1 votes to get 'accepted'." in
a sense that anything which changes the php language (not just syntax, but
that is one example) to require a 2/3 majority.
if you interested in the pro/con arguments, you should check out the
opcache/Zend optimizer rfc/voting threads where we went through this the
last time(Opcache doesn't change the syntax, but changes the execution
paths which can affect potentially every php install).
