Subject: RE: [PHP-DEV] [RFC] [VOTE] Deprecate PHP's short open tags
From: vsuraski@gmail.com

FWIW,

I think it's a bad decision, made against the thoughts of clear majority =
of core developers - and for hardly a good reason.  I believe it =
illustrates very well why we need to properly define our voting =
eligibility rules, and I hope someone would be up to the challenge of =
tackling it (I decided not to pursue it further after the 'abolish' =
RFC(s)).

A 68% majority which barely clears the 2/3 requirements for something as =
fundamental as that - with so many core devs against it - we'll deserve =
all the criticism that will be coming our way in 7.4/8.0 from end users =
wondering why we needlessly broke their apps and made migration a bit =
more of a headache.

My 2c.

Hello Internal,

The two weeks of voting have now ended.
The results are 38 for and 18 against (total 56) for the primary vote to =
deprecate PHP's short open tag in PHP 7.4.
This passes in favor with 68%.

The results are 42 for and 15 against (total 57) for the secondary vote =
to remove PHP's short open tag in PHP 8.
This passes in favor with 74%.

Thanks for everyone who voted on this issue.

Best regards

George P. Banyard
