Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Renaming PhpAttribute to Attribute

Hello,

Since your project is just a single example, we still can't make such a bold
claim that `\Attribute` is used a lot.

While "attribute" is a fairly generic word, just about everyone uses
namespaced
classes and therefore it's not a huge problem. Moreover, PHP 8 is a major
release so BC in such cases isn't the first priority.

Also, it's important to mention that the introduction of functions such as
`str_contains()` is also a breaking change for some. But the benefits it
provides outweigh the 0.1% who may get BC issues.

Best regards,
Benas Seliuginas
