Hi, I know that our official release process allows that, but there are some reasonable arguments against doing that and this topic was brought up multiple times related to specific fixes. I have two open PRs like that: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1204 https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/969 and of course there are a bunch of similar ones from other people, and there are cases when somebody simply pushes a change like that, other times somebody points out that it should require an RFC( https://wiki.php.net/rfc/json_preserve_fractional_part for example), but most of the times we simply don't know what to do, and eventually we just let the PR/patch to rot and die. I would like to know if we can come up with a rule which can have consensus behind it, and maybe formalize it as an extension to our current releaseprocess rfc. What do you think? -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
