I'm working on a second draft with the following changes:

1. Blocks were removed
2. Secondary votes were removed
3. Proposal was simplified (roughly 60% was removed)
4. Discussion period will stay open for longer

I will announce v2 of the RFC in a few days.

I will also discuss blocks in a separate RFC (language wide blocks vs
blocks restricted to specific cases) for PHP 8.1 once people have had
the chance to use match for a few months.
