If the discussion was on the webmaster list then fine. But currently the website 
is promoting a new venue for discussion not hosted by php.net as far as I can 
tell with no linkage back to the project at all? It requires a separate login 
and it's the control and administration of this which I am questioning. Like 
composer and php-fig it seems that the core project is happy to let others take 
control of what I consider fundamental development decisions and then drive 
developments within the project to better match that view of forward development.

I will ask once again that PHP5.6 is shelved in favour of PHP6 to allow those of 
us who were happy with the stability that PHP used to provide to stabilise it 
once again with a version that we at least stand a chance of catching up with.

Since the general feeling here seems to be that if someone is willing to promote 
their own pet project then so be it, perhaps now is the time to take advantage 
of DVCS and start promoting a 'simple PHP' project based on a time before 
'e_strict' ... I still have sites that need reworking before they can be used on 
more modern PHP installations safely, so the suggestion that I should be 
monitoring even more lists does not go down well!
