Subject: [RFC] [DISCUSSION] Deprecate PHP's short open tags V2

Hello internals,

Due to the controversy after the initial vote on the Deprecate PHP's Short
Open Tag RFC [1] here is a new RFC to deprecate them written with the help
of Nikita Popov <nikic@php.net>.

This RFC is targeting PHP 7.4 and has an exemption to land after the
feature freeze granted by the Release Managers of PHP 7.4 Derick Rethans <
derick@php.net> and Peter Kokot <petk@php.net>, CCed to this email.

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate_php_short_tags_v2

Discussion is expected to last 2 weeks followed by a 2 week vote such that
this RFC may land in PHP7.4Beta3 as per the timeline. [2]

The only point of contention of this RFC that I potentially see is the
removal in PHP 8.1 after short open tags being a Parse Error in PHP 8.0
instead of it being removed in PHP 9 after it having had a whole major
version release cycle.

Best regards

George P. Banyard
