hi,

I'm not entirely sure that it is a good idea to go through the voting, as
in a previous mail you wrote that you don't support the idea anymore and
you plan withdrawing it:
https://www.mail-archive.com/internals@lists.php.net/msg72085.html
https://www.mail-archive.com/internals@lists.php.net/msg72098.html
I was planning to create a RFC for 5.7 with some differences to yours
(mostly about having minor self-contained features should target 5.7 and
making a stronger point for why 5.7 would be useful), but given the current
situation I have no favorable outcome, I either vote for an 5.7 which I
disagree with in small details (and which will most likely fail the vote
because the rfc doesn't really make a strong point for itself nor did you
incorporate anything to the rfc which was discussed in the thread) or vote
against it when I really think that having an 5.7 would be really useful.
