There's no adopted policy that says how many minor releases there should be in the 7.x series. So, we come back again to the question of what a major release actually means. It seems that there is some idea in people's heads that PHP 8 would need to be "major enough", and that therefore we can't make it happen sooner. That is a very different definition of "major release" than SemVer, and probably from the one we have documented as policy - which is absolutely fine, if we update our documentation to say what that definition is. I can't suggest how that definition would be worded, though, because I honestly don't understand what people mean by "major enough". Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]Do we really trust our future selves so little that we are incapable of planning more than 6 months ahead?Well, my interpretation was that postphoning it meant 8.0, which is not 6 months away. Having it in a later minor release seems like a worse alternative then 7.1 at a first glance.
