It should be removed, as soon as possible.

The reasoning is rather simple:

- it does not remotely represent all developers opinion
- wrong fact about JIT
- since when do we post work in progress on the frontpage? Not even
ready to be proposed as RFC

We did not even did a post about a critical thing like heartbleed, as
it could have helped a lot of our users, even if not directly related
to php, there is absolutely no reason to transform www.php.net home is
some kind of personal blog. planet-php exists for that.

Whoever committed that, please remove it, now.

Cheers,
