Hi,

Some comments:
- I miss from this RFC how it affects documentation if any and with that
   how it affects translation of the documentation. So even if it's a small
   effort to change a few lines in the INI file, it might be bigger 
doing it in
   the documentation and also come up with good translations to other
   languages.
- I assume that there is a limited amount of people working with INI files,
   primarily sysadmins and to some degree developers and they are not
   doing it everyday. So is it fair to assume that it's a limited amount of
   people working with INI files and they are not doing it every day?
- In a hosting environment where this INI file lives it's fair to assume 
that
   multiple versions of PHP are hosted, e.g. today it can be both 5.6 
and 7.x.
   So for the sysadmin there will be different names for same functionality
   in the INI file when 8.0 comes out.
- As a side note, the default version shipped with the recent CentOS 7.8
   version, it's PHP 5.4.

I also think it's a bit premature to jump on this wagon for several reasons.
