Yes, clearly off the table.

I'm not sure how long you've been on internals, but I'm not sure 
there's any precedence to such strong and diverse opposition to a 
feature - amongst both core developers, original authors and the 
community at large.  At least I can't remember one in the last 13 
years (it's been a long time though, maybe I forgot).

It's completely independent from any other idea we might have in 
mind.  Strict typing will not happen in PHP.
