If not, it would be a good idea next time to announce such things
upfront and solicit feedback. Of course, usually php.net news do not
require that, but usually they also are much more routine than
announcing a big rewrite of the engine in progress.

I would propose to include link to the RFC and the branch for people to
actually look at, right now it's a bit of "there's a new thing there
called phpng, it's awesome, we're working on it". Those who know about
it already know that, those that do not, would probably need some more
info about it for that announcement to be useful to them, IMHO. Of
course, that all provided it is not removed :) I personally think it's
more harm than good to remove it. It was a bit premature posting it on
php.net instead of personal blog, but what is done is done, and it is
better to use it in positive direction.
