Hello internals,

Submitting for discussion the php-community RFC, for a faster-moving, =
community-driven PHP: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/php-community

With this proposal, the entire PHP community gets immediate access to =
experimental features through an official php-community version of PHP, =
versioned in a rolling manner (i.e. php-community 2026.03.01), and =
available on php.net along normal PHP releases.=20

As anticipated by Edmond Dantes in an earlier thread, I'm now part of =
the True Async committee.

I decided to not present the RFC as explicitly linked to True Async, to =
explicitly prevent an interpretation where it is something that will =
allow us to "sneak in" True Async into PHP.

True Async is one of, but not the only nor the main reason why I created =
this RFC.=20

I truly believe that PHP could really benefit from a more agile =
community RFC process, that can transform it from just a decent and fast =
language I and so many others love, to an amazing, blazing fast and =
actually modern and ergonomic language.

I believe PHP truly deserves this.

Kind regards,
Daniil Gentili.
