Looks good to me. If we are done earlier, then good too. I will look into the details later. By the way, we were supposed to have one together to decide the 7 timeline and whether we wanted php 5.7, https://wiki.php.net/rfc/php7_57_roadmap. I was waiting you for weeks now after we discussed that with Andi. A little ping would have been nice. Anyway, I will remove the 7 section on the other RFC and go for it, if there are no other issue we cannot solve before voting, -- Pierre @pierrejoye | http://www.libgd.org
