Amaury has a point, though.

Personally, I don't think annotations belong in PHP. Now, I can
explain why based on my use of Symfony and Doctrine, but that suggests
that I'm going to change my mind when truthfully, I'm almost certainly
not going to =E2=80=94 it's a difference of philosophy, rather than somethi=
ng
specific to the RFC or the patch.

So my dilemma is this: how do I voice this (without simply a drive-by
-1 vote, which isn't really helpful either, and is overly discouraging
to the people who've put a lot of work in to polish the feature up)
without being shouted down for being unhelpful or uncivil?
