I can understand your concerns. At the same time, I hope you can
understand that people won't want to put off introducing features that
they want in the meantime.

I think if you were able to give a timeline for when an Enum RFC could
be introduced, before the PHP 7.2 release, we could talk about whether
it would be right to hold off on this RFC for now.

Otherwise I suggest Micha=C5=82 updates the voting options, and we open the
voting in a week or so.

cheers
