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?
