Other RFCs require 50% + 1 votes to get 'accepted'." in a sense that anything which changes the php language (not just syntax, but that is one example) to require a 2/3 majority. if you interested in the pro/con arguments, you should check out the opcache/Zend optimizer rfc/voting threads where we went through this the last time(Opcache doesn't change the syntax, but changes the execution paths which can affect potentially every php install). --=20 Ferenc Kov=C3=A1cs @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu --089e01536b72467ea004f95932b7--
