It's kind of hard to recover the context here, but I assume it's
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/throwable and replacing BaseException with
Throwable. I like the idea, however we do have the deadline and the
deadline has been passed. So I wonder if we can't keep it for 7.1 with
the following modification (assuming the RFC passes):

- BaseException implements Throwable
- BaseException is deprecated in 7.1
- BaseException is removed in 7.2 or 8.0

Also I don't see Error class though it was mentioned in the previous
discussion. Was it dropped for a reason?
