All your arguments are good ones, even if in my position I don't agree 
with everything. Nevertheless, I specifically don't agree with this one: 
a lot of proprietary code _uses_ open-source community code, but is not 
always tied to it. You're ignoring all projects that took the other 
direction, clean architecture, business libraries, dependency-free code, 
and others, whose goals are not to be dependent upon third party, but 
rather integrate with them in the software stack edges, making it both 
replaceable and discrete. I don't write "Symfony" projects, I write 
business domain projects, Symfony only brings a nice dependency 
injection container and a router I could both replace easily.

In my use case, focusing on my code is what primarily matters, and I'm 
not denying language changes are impacting for open source software, but 
I trust PHP for always keeping its BC promise (and it does, probably 
thanks to "In fact, open-source package maintainers are often one of the 
first lines when it comes to PHP compatibility"), which at least resolve 
that.

Regards,
