It is an over interpretation of my reply, which was to a specific mail.

The additional comment about nobody having used annotations in other
languages (meaning having annotations experiences, not related to clue
or lack of clue) was about the proposal like using phpdoc,  arguing
about the syntax endlessly or even worst, one line reply.

That being said, I'm not proposing it and I'm relatively neutral in
here. However I am sure that PHP will gain a lot of new nice tools and
php based services if we support annotations. If this implementation
is not good enough then let us try to improve it, in the most
constructive way (that means to leave the other totally unrelated
topics behind us :).

Cheers,
