I guess you didn't see my reply when you asked this before. Here again 
is the link to the instructions: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/howto

Can you tell us where you got the idea that there needed to be a 
separate page? Maybe there is some text that we can make clearer.


Meanwhile, please cancel this vote. There is no rush.

If we get it right, this could be the most significant feature added to 
PHP for 10 years or more. If we get it wrong, we might regret it for 20 
years.


On Monday, you replied to a message from Bart Vanhoutte, saying:

Then two days later, you decided that no more discussion was necessary, 
and opened a vote.

This feels like a complete contradiction.

Let's find a way to get that working group set up, and get people from 
other projects involved.


I am extremely grateful and frankly amazed for all the work you've put 
into this. Please don't throw that away by ending up with a "No" vote 
over small details.
