Not necessarily.  It makes probably sense to also check the related
discussions on the mailing list, which do not appear to be listed in the
RFC, but searching for "Skipping optional parameters for functions" on
<https://externals.io/> gives some results.  I havent't looked closely
into these discussions, but apparently one reason why several people
didn't like the proposal was that PHP should have named function
arguments.  If a new RFC can make a good point why `default` still would
make sense despite PHP having named function arguments, the proposal
might be seen in a different light.

Personally, I'm rather neutral on the idea.

Cheers,
Christoph
