RE: [PHP-DEV] What's our official stance on small self-contained additions in a micro version

The release process document is clear : "New features or additions to the core should go through the RFC process." (hopefully considering the 'core' as the whole PHP distribution). It would be better using "must" instead of "should" but it is quite clear. So, providing "a room for exceptions on a case by case basis and only for small self-contained features and additions" does not mean that these features don't have to go through an RFC. There is nothing to add to the rules, we just need to have them enforced by people who currently merge new features without demanding an approved RFC. If everyone respects the rules, the 'case by case process' is clear, it means 'approved through an RFC'. Only bug fixes with no side effect can be merged without an RFC. So, once again, as https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1145 clearly did not follow the rules and was not approved in any way, I'm asking whoever merged it to revert the change and ask the author to go through an RFC.
