This is no joke, it is going to be really frustrating if this feature is 
abandoned. Isn't there someone capable and interested on taking the RFC? 
If the amount of votes required is 2/3 (66%), then adding the feature in 
was voted by majority (67/101 = 66%). Again this is really frustrating, 
I was already celebrating and planning how I could use/make the best of 
scalar type hints on existing code. Even salivating on all those 
optimizations planned by other individuals on the community.

I hope this is continued by some one or Andrea has the time to come back 
and finish the great work she started.

Sad day :(
