Even if that is the fact, first, I disagree with your definition of =
community, and second, how does a PHP beginner know about that? These =
are the people which will be confused.

Anyway, that is a political discussion, and I share the concerns raised =
in this thread.


What ever the decision on that matter will be, it should be properly =
documented together with the goals for 'The Next Big Thing'.
And, well, I think, a proper RFC would be the way to go, to document the =
goals/roadmap and have to have a base for discussion.=20

Best regards
Stefan
