This isn’t a judgement of the PHP community nor the internals mailing list, you’re all wonderful people and it’s really been a pleasure, and I mean that completely honestly. However, this has ended up taking up too much of my time (which is my own fault, and my own fault alone) and I can’t really justify it to myself anymore.

The Spaceship/Combined Comparison Operator RFC was also authored by Davey Shafik, so ask him if you want to revive that one.

I would stick around to finish everything up before I leave, but I just don’t have the time nor the motivation to finish everything. I apologise for that, especially for Scalar Type Hints as I realise this is something a lot of developers were looking forward to.

Thank you for being a responsible software developer.  Not many 
developers are this forward and honest about their intentions/plans.
