A conspiracy to hide a not-very-important bug that took minutes to fix would=
 be a bit awkward.  I have no idea who knew about it, but even if someone di=
d, I can only imagine that the reason it wasn't disclosed was that they didn=
't think much of it.  Whomever it was can shed light on this.

Either way, looks like we're creating some really negative vibes, questionin=
g the very people who we owe gratitude for creating PHP 7, and in general, m=
aking an elephant out of a mouse.  Let's go back to elePHPants.

My 2c.
