Skip 7.3.0RC6?

I've thought about this as well, but given that some widely used PECL
extensions are not ready for PHP 7.3 yet (for instance, yaml[1],
mailparse[2] and uopz[3]) (Remi may have more to say on this), it might
be better to still have two additional RCs (RC4 has been tagged
yesterday). Furthermore, timelib has only recently been upgraded to
2018.01RC1[4], and I think it may need some time to be stable.

That puts done to that topic then. Full RC cycle it is.

I've been getting use out of ext/yaml, I'll take a look at addressing
its 7.3 compat.

I've been thinking about this since we added the fourth alpha and
pushed the schedule down, but thinking about the EOL of 7.0 on Dec
3rd, I'm wondering if it'd be worth skipping RC6 in order to GA 7.3.0
on Nov 22 (previously scheduled date) slightly ahead of the Dec 3
deadline. Obviously doing so would be contingent on the build looking
stable as of RC5, and primarily the call of cmb and stas, but I wanted
to get others' thoughts.

timelib should be considered stable, the last RC was just a data update.
The commit ([4]) however, is unrelated to timelib?

cheers,

I track extensions' status on

https://blog.remirepo.net/post/2018/07/02/PHP-extensions-status-with-upcoming-PHP-7.3

91 are OK
31 are WIP (fixed upstream or PR waiting review)
12 are KO

ev and zmq could be other used ones
(for zmq PR open to fix the build, but still segfault in test suite)
