This BC break can only be done at a major version. Technically, we're not allowed to move from from a working feature into a removed one without a deprecation phase. So why I agree with you it's a problem to just edit the RFC without getting a wide OK for it after a vote has concluded, what's much worse is that so many people voted Yes for an RFC that violated that principle, and not s single person was bothered to even reply to a query about it. Note that contrary to what you said, a vote would have been equally required regardless of whether we follow our deprecation process, or violate it for no good reason. You're right we won't be able to move to remove it in 7.x - but it's exactly at the same level that we mustn't move to an error in 7.0. Zeev
