Okay, strike that and replace it with "adherence to the documented release process" which says that backward compatibility can only be broken in a release where the first digit in the version number is incremented.

https://github.com/php/policies/blob/main/release-process.rst

Which leaves my point intact, which is that voting which version to put backwards-incompatible changes in is a weird way to conform to the release process.

It's been over three years since 8.0 was released, how long until any backwards-incompatible changes are going to intentionally make it into another release?

Thanks.
