Sorry, I didn't catch that this message said feature freeze *and branch*.

Please do not create a separate PHP-8.0 branch yet. A separate branch is
only needed if anyone wants to start landing changes targeting PHP 8.1
already -- as far as I'm aware, nobody is actively working on PHP 8.1 yet.

Due to our git workflow, creating a branch now means that every single
commit to PHP 8.0 will also require a merge into master. This is a rather
big waste of time and CI resources if we expect PHP-8.0 and master to be
identical in the near future.

Thanks,
Nikita
