Hi,

could you update the timeline to mention when do you want to start the
alpha and beta cycle?
for 5.6 the start of the alpha cycle indicated that we don't accept new
proposals, and the start of the beta cycle indicated that we won't accept
new features even if the RFC was already proposed or even accepted (but the
patch wasn't finished or merged in time).
you do mention the RC cycle as point 3, and my guess is that point 2, could
be the beta cycle because your definition ("Finalize implementation &
testing of new features") matches what we do with betas, but if that
assumption is correct, then your RFC is missing a target date for the start
of the alpha cycle, and that is important to know if we want to keep the
rule that there could be no new RFCs targetting PHP7 after that date.
