There is no "effort", it would just be a voting option. 2.

If a PHP 6 schedule doesn't finalize soon, then merging the 64-bit changes to PHP 5.7 may be the only way forward. -- christopher.jones@oracle.com http://twitter.com/ghrd Free PHP & Oracle book: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/php/underground-php-oracle-manual-098250.html
