It=E2=80=99s not coding related, but more= about convention. I=E2=80=99m a follower of the french mailing list about php internals where= we discuss, chiefly thanks to Pascal Martin, where does the french php community stand regarding RFC. Now and then, debates about RFC on the mailing list are polluted by this simple argument : =E2=80=9CWhat!!!? That should not be done in minor versio= n, but go for major!=E2=80=9D. (recently, it was triggered by this one: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/remove_utf_8_decode_encode) With some pals of this mailing list, we came to wrote this draft of RFC: objective : Write and follow a deprecation convention for PHP draft : https://github.com/gorghoa/the-deprecated-rfc/blob/master/RFC.doku tl;dr: If it=E2=80=99s a BC, deprecate in next minor version unless it=E2= =80=99s security related May we have your feedback on such proposal? Is it the right place to discuss it? Best regards, --=20 Rodrigue Villetard --94eb2c05c5def73423053a6ce99f--
