I'm also fine with doing the ABI freeze already now. I don't have any ABI
impacting work planned, the attributes/strict_types changes were the last
bit.

In that case:
 * Bump ABI numbers and tag RC1 today
 * Continue working on parameter names afterwards
 * Cut the PHP-8.0 branch sometime in the next two weeks
