I'm not really sold on the proposal in the first place, but I find it 
incredibly problematic that there were non-trivial changes to the RFC 
text just 4 minutes before voting started and having the justification 
"it will be easier to change if bad".

Combined with the phrasing of the email I'm replying to, it looks like 
this proposal is attempted to be forced into PHP 8.3 for some reason, 
without fully thinking it through / without allowing an in-depth 
discussion. This is probably going to bite in the longer term.
